SCHOOL OF TECHNOLOGY

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 college’s 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.

PROGRAM FEATURES

Instructional delivery is self-paced, computer based instruction facilitated by a content-expert, certified faculty. At the completion of the program, students will earn a technical certificate; and eligibility to sit for one or more nationally-recognized certification exams.

Another feature of the Institute is the contextualized foundation and applied skill development component, called Foundations. The main curricular focus of Foundations is in reading, writing, and mathematics, as well as modules on workplace skills and career development. Each student will enter the Foundations program and move through an individualized learning plan in a self-paced, computer lab setting with an instructor available to monitor progress and assist as needed.
