Ivy Tech Community College

Ivy Tech Community College is a public institution located in Indianapolis, Indiana, with an enrollment of approximately 58,267 students. As a community college, it serves a broad range of students pursuing career-focused credentials and degrees.

In-state tuition is $5,154 per year, while out-of-state tuition is $9,935 per year. The average annual net price — the total estimated cost of attendance, including tuition, fees, and living expenses, after grant and scholarship aid is applied — is $7,258. This figure can exceed published tuition because it reflects full costs of attendance, not tuition alone. About 22.5% of students receive Pell Grants, a federal aid program for students with financial need.

Borrowing is relatively uncommon at Ivy Tech: only 6.8% of all students take out federal student loans. Among those who did borrow and completed a credential, the median federal loan debt was $10,727. However, the three-year loan repayment rate — the share of borrowers whose loan balance is actively being paid down — stands at 25.9%, meaning that roughly three-quarters of borrowers are not reducing their balance within three years of entering repayment. Prospective students who plan to borrow may want to consider this figure carefully.

Median earnings 10 years after enrollment are $37,186. This figure is measured across all federally-aided students who enrolled, including those who did not complete a credential, so it does not represent the earnings of graduates alone.

Among the programs offered relevant to career seekers on this site is Welding. Prospective students interested in skilled trades may find Ivy Tech worth researching further for program availability and credential options in that field.
