Partnership Types

There is an increasing number of students nationwide who wish to complete their bachelor’s degree. In order to provide direct access to degree completion programs—many of which require an associate’s degree for admission—Ivy Bridge College establishes unique partnerships to streamline this process. These partnerships model best practices for students at different educational stages by marrying our associate’s programs with bachelor’s degree completion programs offered by established four-year schools with reputations for excellence. The result is a seamless, online four-year experience.

2+2 Degree Completion Programs

Ivy Bridge College partners with existing online degree completion programs to provide an integrated online four-year program for students. We work with our partners to align curricula to deliver streamlined pathways to graduation and provide the student services that ensure success. These partnerships allow students who don’t yet have their associate’s degree to start on a seamless pathway to their Bachelor’s degree. Students can apply to and be admitted by either our partner institutions or Ivy Bridge College. Learn more about our transfer partnerships by visiting the Ivy Bridge Transfer Center.

Online Learning Services for Partner Universities

Ivy Bridge College also partners with institutions that want to develop and deliver their degree completion programs online even if those courses are not currently offered online. Our partner, Altius Education, provides a turnkey solution to help universities unlock the potential of their curricula. Services include marketing, recruitment, student success services, instructional design, faculty training, and LMS hosting. Professors from partner institutions continue to teach, and partners keep academic control.
