Ivy Tech Corporate College has launched a program designed to boost enrollment and provide students with access to an enhanced body of online not-for credit courses.
Under the agreement, Cengage Learning will supply Ivy Tech with technology, program, and marketing support to increase online enrollment, and provide opportunities for students to access a broad range of online courses through its online ed2go learning division.
