About Ivy Bridge College of Tiffin University
Ivy Bridge College is part of Tiffin University, an independent, coeducational institution that has been educating students since 1888. Tiffin is recognized nationally for its accredited on campus and online courses. For the past year, in preparation for the launch of Ivy Bridge, Tiffin has taken an innovative approach to education by teaming associate degree students with success coaches. We have seen the difference it makes. Now we are proud to offer our Associate of Arts in General Studies program online through Ivy Bridge College of Tiffin University.
Ivy Bridge can be a key stepping stone toward your goal of achieving a bachelor's degree or beyond. If you already know what four-year school you would like to attend, we'll help you select the right classes to make your transfer as seamless as possible. If you don't know where you want to go, that's okay too. As you progress through your classes, we can help you identify the four-year schools that are best suited to your inte
A Coach to Lead, Guide, and Inspire
We understand that students need support not only as they transition from high school to college, but also throughout their Ivy Bridge College experience. That's why all of our students have their own "success coaches."
Coaches contact students regularly through scheduled phone calls, e-mail, and text messaging. They help students adjust to college life, offer input on what courses to take, discuss assignments and concerns, and work with them to set short- and long-term goals.
"My last class had 10 students, so we all got to know one another. I use a combination of threaded discussions, live chats and audio presentations. In the audio presentations, I talk students through the math assignments, one problem at a time. It's helpful because students can go online anytime and view these presentations as often as they like."
— Dan Bell, Assistant Professor at Tiffin University
