1. IVY TECH IN 2025:Reaching the Goal Robert E. Hoke Independent Consultant

2. Outline of Presentation • Recap of the Big Goal • Historical Trends on Associate Degree Awarded • Projecting Future Degrees Awarded Based on Past Trends • Internal and External Factors that Will Affect Growth • Next Steps • Questions from the Floor

3. Recap of Big Goal • 60% of Adults 25-64 will have earned a degree by 2025. • In 2008, 33.4% of Indiana adults ages 25-64 held at least a two-year degree. • If current trends continue, by 2025 an estimated 44.4% of the 25-64 adult population in Indiana will hold an associate degree or higher. • There will be a gap of 15.6% between projected number of adults with degrees and the goal of 60% of the adult population. • Gap = approximately 514,000 adults in Indiana in 2025 without a degree. (MHEC)

4. “By increasing production by 6,454 associate and bachelor’s degrees each year between now and 2025 – an annual increase of 6.3% – Indiana will reach the Big Goal.” Lumina Foundation “A Stronger Nation Through Higher Education”

5. How many additional Ivy Tech associate degrees will be needed to reach the state goal? • 75% of those 6,454 annual additional degrees need to be associate degrees. (State of Indiana) • Assumption that Ivy Tech will award all of those 4,840 additional associate degrees. • 62,926 additional degrees beyond current projections between now and 2025.

19. Calculating the Gap

20. Implications for Goal Setting and Strategies • Historic year-to-year growth has not been straight-line linear, e.g. two years of high growth followed by modest growth. Benchmarking intermediate goals will be important to deal with potential fluctuation in growth rates. • Circumstances and strategies that lead to tremendous recent growth may not be suitable for replication on an annual basis. The plan to reach the goal needs to include short-term strategies that provide almost immediate gains in degree attainment along with long-term strategies that will provide lasting momentum. • External forces such as migration, changes in social security and other retirement plans, and government policies may cause changes in the number of degrees required to reach 60% of the population. Ivy Tech needs to consider in advance how to address external pressure to increase internal targets and benchmarks.

27. What’s Next? • What projected growth rate is the “right fit” for Ivy Tech? • What additional information is needed in order to make a logical projection for future growth? • What are the internal and external constraints that will affect Ivy Tech’s ability to grow at that rate? • Unpack the needed additional degrees by region and campus. What are the local conditions that need to be taken into account when developing goals for each region? • What strategies should be engaged? • What impact will other education institutions who offer associate degrees have on Ivy Tech’s ability to reach its goal? • Is Ivy Tech producing enough degrees in “high-growth” fields to meet the state’s current and future demands?

28. Potential Strategies and Benchmarks Categories • Enrollment • How can Ivy Tech best increase enrollment that will lead to an increased number of degrees awarded? • Persistence • What are some key strategies to increasing the number of students who stay on course to completing their degree? • Certificate Attainment • How can Ivy Tech develop a strategy around certificate attainment that leads to more degrees awarded?
