Looking to bolster the size and diversity of Indiana’s teaching force, a new program will offer education students three degrees for the price of one.
The program, created through a partnership between Marian University and Ivy Tech Community College, will enable students to earn an associate, bachelor’s, and master’s degree in five years. Students in the cadet teaching program, which lets them complete the first year of courses for free in high school, can do it in four.
Students will complete the associate degree at Ivy Tech, which typically takes two years. Next they will transfer from Ivy Tech to the Klipsch Educators College at Marian University, where they will earn a bachelor’s degree after another two years. A free one-year master’s degree program and a year of paid clinical residency in an Indiana classroom will follow.
Indiana needs more teachers.
And, in a state where more than 90% of teachers are white, it particularly needs more teachers of color. So, a new dual-enrollment agreement from Marian University and Ivy Tech Community College is looking to make the pathway into the profession more attractive and accessible with a low-to-no-cost program that starts prepping future teachers while they’re still in high school.
The teaching cadet program will allow students to complete the first year of an associate degree through dual credit courses while they’re still in high school. Upon graduation, they’ll receive dual admission into Ivy Tech and Marian. They’ll spend their first year out of high school at Ivy Tech, completing their associate degree before transitioning to the Klipsch Educators College where they will earn a bachelor’s degree with a teacher certification.
