About Ivy Tech Hamilton County Campus

Ivy Tech Hamilton County is dedicated to expanding educational opportunities and strengthening the local workforce.

Since becoming a full-service campus on July 1, 2021, our campus has experienced significant growth, with enrollment increasing by more than 20% year over year. Serving students from Arcadia, Atlanta, Carmel, Cicero, Fishers, Noblesville, Sheridan, and Westfield, the campus is a vital hub for education and career preparation.

Ivy Tech Hamilton County offers 24 academic programs aligned with high-demand career fields, including healthcare, information technology, building construction, and business. With over 2,000 enrolled students, more than 5,000 high school dual-credit students, and 1,000 skills training students, the campus provides a strong foundation for workforce success.

With a focus on student achievement, our campus collaborates with local employers and community partners to develop targeted training programs that support career advancement and job placement. One such partnership with Riverview Health has led to remarkable outcomes—students in the Certified Clinical Medical Assistant (CCMA) program achieved an 87.5% pass rate on their exam, highlighting the impact of hands-on, career-focused education.

By aligning academic programs with industry needs, Ivy Tech Hamilton County remains committed to equipping students with the skills and knowledge necessary for lifelong success.
