30 Credit Hours | 2 Semesters | 1-Year
Offered at 29��������Ƶ Locations, plus 100% Online

The Indiana College Core is a long-term certificate, known as a technical certificate, offered by ������Ƶ consisting of a block of 30 credit hours toward general education requirements.

Thirty credit hours are equivalent to your first year in college.

Courses

To earn the Core, students must take at least three credit hours in six general education competency areas, as well as an additional 12 “elective” credit hours from the same competencies (totaling 30 credit hours). Once these credits have been earned, you will have fulfilled the core requirements equivalent to your first year of college.��

THE NEXT STEP IS YOUR CHOICE

⇒ Continue at ������Ƶ for an Associate Degree

If you complete the Indiana College Core in high school, it's an easy transition into ������Ƶ full-time after graduation. You'll already have one year of credits under your belt and only one more year of classes to complete an associate degree of your choice (an associate is a 2-year degree). 

⇒ Start as a Sophomore at a 4-Year University

Suppose your goal is a bachelor's degree. In that case, you can complete the 30-credit Indiana College Core by taking ������Ƶ classes in high school and then enroll in any public Indiana four-year university as a sophomore after you graduate. ������Ƶ calls this the Start as a Sophomore pathway.

High school students on the Start as a Sophomore pathway who complete their first year of college at ������Ƶ through Dual Enrollment classes (where students pay tuition) can save more than $5,000 on their bachelor's degree. Dual Credit high school students, who take classes for free at their high school, can save even more!
