Dear Families of Sophomores and Juniors,

Your student has an opportunity to earn the Indiana College Core (ICC) through the 窪蹋勛圖 (窪蹋勛圖). The ICC is a general education certificate composed of 30 hours of college credit spread across six broad competency areas: written communication, speaking and listening, quantitative reasoning, scientific ways of knowing, social and behavioral ways of knowing, and humanistic and artistic ways of knowing.

If completed with a cumulative college GPA of 2.0 or higher, the ICC is guaranteed to transfer as a block of credit to public institutions throughout Indiana, as well as to several of Indianas independent colleges!
