Transfer Course Policy: Students may transfer no more than 60 credits from a junior college toward a SPEA Bachelor of Science degree. No more than 50 percent of courses taken to satisfy the requirements of the Criminal Justice Major may be transfer courses from other accredited institutions of higher learning; including all IU campuses.
Other articulation agreements: Students admitted to Ivy Tech prior to Fall 2013 will follow the articulation agreement signed August 2010 if following an older plan of study both at Ivy Tech. The student will also follow the previous plan of study at IUPUI, provided they are continuously in Criminal Justice. This will be in effect only through 2018.
For students admitted to Ivy Tech starting fall 2013, they will follow the statewide core and new articulation agreement in Criminal Justice between Ivy Tech and IUPUI.
