IU Northwest General Education
The general education program guides the achievement of excellence in undergraduate education at IU Northwest. It describes university level capabilities, knowledge across disciplines, and awareness of diversity that we believe every undergraduate at IU Northwest should attain. This program embraces learning experiences that prepare students for lifelong learning, ethical practices, successful careers, and effective citizenship. It serves as a way for students to achieve vital foundational skills that prepare them for advanced study within our baccalaureate degree programs.
In 2012 the Indiana legislature enacted Senate Enrolled Act 182, thereby establishing the requirement for a Statewide Transfer General Education Core (STGEC) now known as the Indiana College Core (ICC). of at least 30 credit hours. In 2021 the ICHE has rebranded the STGEC to the Indiana College Core (ICC). The mapping of the IU Northwest general education requirements onto the ICC can be found here.
