Indiana College Core (ICC)
What is it?
The Indiana College Core (ICC) Certificate consists of 30 semester hours of general education credit. The ICC certificate can be awarded by a public college or university. Completion of the ICC permits transfer of all 30 hours to another public institution within Indiana and counts as satisfying the ICC equivalent at the receiving institution.
The Indiana College Core is based on competencies and learning outcomes in six areas:
Foundational Intellectual Skills | Ways of Knowing |

What else should I consider?
What if I can't do this or it's not available at my high school?
It's perfectly fine. Plenty of research shows that one or two college courses help students feel more prepared for college. You can still explore your college major options and future career choices - and just enjoy high school!
USI is approved to award the ICC certificate through dual credit. Work with USI’s ICC advisor, Tim Fitzgibbon, to determine if the ICC is right for you.
