CERTIFICATE The Ivy Institute of Technology is an alternative postsecondary educational delivery strategy that will operate within the existing Schools of Technology and Business. The Institute is organized around the principles of competency-based education. The competencies reflect professional industry standards, and the curriculum leads to preparation for nationally recognized certifications. In general, Institute programs are similar to the colleges Technical Certificate curriculum without the required general education classes, and will articulate seamlessly into related AAS programs. These credit hour programs are eligible for financial aid. PURPOSE The purpose of the Institute is to deliver programs of one year or less that are structured around industry recognized certifications. The 40 week programs are offered as a single progression of skill acquisition within a fixed daily class schedule of 30 hours/week. The self-contained instructional day includes all academic activity which allows for students to commit to outside employment if necessary. The model is cohort-based with four entry points throughout the year and open exit. The purpose of the Institute is to deliver programs of one year or less that are structured around industry recognized certifications. Programs of study are in high demand technology areas such as automotive, manufacturing (machine tool), welding, computing technology, heating & air conditioning, and advanced manufacturing.
