The Transfer as a Junior pathway—you might also hear people call it TSAP—is for students who plan to spend two years at Ivy Tech and then transfer to any public Indiana four-year university as a junior. In those two years at Ivy Tech, you can earn an associate degree and then transfer to the four-year institution to pursue a companion bachelor's degree.
Let's start with some history. In 2013, the Indiana legislature required that state colleges and universities develop a set of Transfer Single Articulation Pathways (TSAP) which allow students to fully transfer certain associate degrees as the first two years of instruction toward a companion bachelor’s degree. Programs with the TSAP designation are based on a curriculum agreed upon across all of the public institutions in Indiana. They enable students to spend two years at IvyTech and then transfer to any public Indiana four-year university as a junior without losing any credits.
Offering the lowest tuition in the state, Ivy Tech is Indiana's best value in higher education. Students on the Transfer as a Junior pathway who complete their first two years of college at Ivy Tech can save upward of $10,000 on their bachelor's degree. Saving money and graduating with less college debt is indeed a smarter start to your degree.
The programs below are designated as a Transfer as a Junior, or TSAP, pathway. When you enroll in one of the following degree programs, you can earn an associate degree from Ivy Tech and then transfer to any Indiana public four-year institution with automatic junior status:
Biology
Business Administration
Chemistry
Computer Science
Criminal Justice
Early Childhood Education
Education – Elementary & Special
Education – Secondary
Electrical Engineering Technology
Engineering (Mechanical Engineering Track only)
Human Services (Intended for pursuing a bachelor's in Social Work or Human Services)
Informatics
Mechanical Engineering Technology
Nursing*
Psychology
SAVE $10,000+
on your bachelor's degree by attending Ivy Tech for your first two years
Transfer as a Junior (TSAP) programs—where students plan to spend two years at Ivy Tech and then transfer to any public Indiana four-year university (and some private schools) as a junior—are offered at many Ivy Tech locations in Indiana. Each location offers a unique combination of TSAP-designated academic programs, as shown in the table below. If you don’t see a location or academic program listed, it is not being offered at this time.

When you earn an associate degree from Ivy Tech in one of the TSAP degree programs, you can transfer to any Indiana public four-year institution with automatic junior status, as well as many private institutions. Choose from the Indiana colleges and universities listed below.
Do make sure that the four-year university you intend to transfer to offers a bachelor's program in your program of choice. Each of Ivy Tech's four-year institution transfer partners only offer bachelor's degrees in some of the TSAP programs. For example, if you are thinking about earning a TSAP in Computer Science, you will only be able to transfer to the four-year institutions that offer Computer Science.
You may be wondering how our "Transfer as a Junior" pathway—officially known as TSAP (Transfer Single Articulation Pathways)—is different than the Guaranteed Admissions pathway. Here are some ways they are similar, and some ways they are different:
TRANSFER AS A JUNIOR (TSAP) |
GUARANTEED ADMISSIONS |
|
Spend two years at IvyTech and earn an associate degree, then transfer to an Indiana 4-year university as a junior | X | X |
Can transfer to any Indiana public college or university (if accepted) | X | |
Can transfer to a specific set of Indiana public and private universities with which Ivy Tech has agreements | X | X |
Number of Indiana 4-year colleges and universities you can transfer to* | 17 | 23 |
Admission to transfer university is guaranteed if GPA and other eligibility requirements are met | X | |
Will not lose any credits when transferring | X | X |
Will save thousands of dollars on tuition | X | X |
Number of Ivy Tech programs that transfer* | 15 | 32 |
May have transfer application fees waived | X |
* Not every school accepts every Ivy Tech program.
First, confirm that the academic program you're interested in is designated as a TSAP program. Then simply apply to Ivy Tech and you'll soon be on your way to earning your associate degree at Ivy Tech before you transfer to a four-year university to complete your bachelor's degree.
Be sure to stay in touch with your Ivy Tech advisor and the academic advising office of the institution you wish to transfer to since required courses can change over time. Changing your plan without speaking with an advisor could result in not completing the program within the two-year time frame required for this process.
It's important to remember that transfer admission is not guaranteed just by enrolling in a TSAP program. Once you complete your two years at Ivy Tech, you will need to be admitted to the institution you intend to transfer to. TSAP does mean that if you are admitted, your coursework will be accepted with no loss of credits.
If you are interested in securing automatic acceptance, our Guaranteed Admissions pathway may be right for you.

* The Nursing program at Purdue University - West Lafayette does not offer an RN to BSN degree pathway for students and, thus, it is not included in the TSAP (Transfer as a Junior) Nursing program. Students wishing to transfer to Purdue University - West Lafayette Nursing will be considered on a space available basis with all other transfer students and will have 6-8 additional semesters to complete the bachelor’s degree.
