Indiana Tech Expands to Louisville

Fort Wayne, Ind. –The College of Professional Studies at Indiana Tech has expanded by opening a new campus in Louisville, Ky., its first location outside of Indiana.

The Louisville location is 14,725 square feet and features nine classrooms, a library, a computer lab, multiple breakout areas for students, and wireless connectivity throughout the facility. Classes at the site will begin in January; however admissions representatives in Louisville are already enrolling students in online courses.

“This is obviously a big step for us, growing beyond Indiana,” said Steve Herendeen, vice president of CPS. “Based on demographic research and demand for higher education in that area, we think the metropolitan Louisville area will be really receptive to our accelerated degree programs.”
