School-Based Program (SBP)
What is SBP? The IPFW School-Based Program is a partnership between IPFW and participating high schools in northeastern Indiana. SBP offers college credit to qualified high school students who enroll in IPFW general education courses that are offered at their local high schools during the regular school day and taught by approved high school teachers who hold adjunct lecturer status with IPFW. SBP courses are administered from the Fort Wayne campus in conjunction with the Collegiate Connection program.
SBP is for high school students, generally juniors or seniors, who have adequate preparation and the desire for more advanced work. Through its course offerings, SBP provides an opportunity for high school students to begin college work while in high school. The SBP courses are actual college courses intended to allow a wide range of students to engage in college level work for college credit. SBP courses are designed for students who have both a solid academic foundation, whose interests can be furthered by acquiring college credit prior to graduation, and who make a serious commitment to completing the SBP course successfully.
You receive both high school and college credit while you:
- get an early start on your college degree (and perhaps finish sooner).
- begin building a college transcript. Most courses are transferable to Indiana colleges and universities.
- receive a substantial tuition remission.
- gain access to IPFW technology and resources.
- complete an Indiana high school honors diploma requirement option.
- gain access to additional course choices designed for high-achieving students like you.
