Indiana Tech brings over 80 years of educational excellence to the Southern Indiana and Louisville area. The College of Professional Studies offers a unique opportunity for working adults, offering courses that are tailored to fit the demands of a busy lifestyle.  Courses are offered in two formats: evening classes and online classes.

Online classes are ideal for students who are unable to attend physical classes.  The online classes allow students to complete weekly assignments at their own pace.  The classes can be accessed anytime, anywhere.
