Indiana College Core

Have you completed your Indiana College Core (ICC)?

The Indiana College Core (ICC) was formerly called the Statewide Transfer General Education Core (STGEC).

The state of Indiana, in collaboration with state higher education institutions, has defined a set of statewide competencies that form a “core” of 30 credit hours that each public institution has identified with a milestone. Competencies are the skills and knowledge associated with the coursework considered foundational for further study in higher education, and which introduce students to a range of skills and disciplines. These are described in the ICC as Foundational Skills and Ways of Knowing. The competencies were agreed upon by faculty across Indiana state educational institutions.

If you’ve earned your ICC from any Indiana public two- or four-year institution, you are eligible to transfer a minimum of 30 credit hours toward your degree. Check with your advisor to review your transcript and to discuss more details on meeting the ICC milestone.

Degree-seeking students who have not completed the ICC prior to matriculation will be expected to meet all general education requirements on the campus at which they are officially pursuing a degree (their “home campus.”) At the appropriate time, the home campus at which a student is seeking a degree will assign the ICC milestone. Coursework taken at another campus or institution will count toward general education requirements or the ICC based on the home campus’s articulation rules and its general education requirements.
