Our Academic Approach

To serve a wide variety of learners, our degree programs are offered in multiple formats:

Traditional: Classes meet multiple times each week for 15-week semesters. These classes are scheduled during the day, which is why we often referred to as "day" programs. Students in traditional programs are usually young adults who have recently graduated from high school. Many of them are in involved in athletics or other activities, and they may live on campus.
Accelerated: The College of Professional Studies (CPS) focuses on nontraditional learners by offering classes in an accelerated format. These classes meet once a week (usually evenings or weekends) for 5-week or 6-week sessions. Students in accelerated programs are usually employed full-time and seeking career advancement or a change of career. They attend classes at Indiana Tech locations throughout Indiana and Kentucky.
Online: The College of Professional Studies also offers online degree programs. These classes are also accelerated, spanning 5 or 6 weeks. However, students can access the material on their own timeframe from anywhere they have broadband Internet access.
