University of Evansville Welcomes Indiana College Core to Empower Future Students

Posted: Tuesday, March 11, 2025

The University of Evansville (UE) is proud to embrace the Indiana College Core (ICC), offering students a powerful opportunity to jump-start their college journey.

The ICC is a 30-credit-hour block of general education courses that high school students can complete, and it transfers seamlessly to all Indiana public colleges and select private institutions, including UE. By completing the ICC, students arrive at UE with a solid academic foundation, greater flexibility, and the freedom to make the most of their college experience.

For many students, completing the ICC can be life changing. It can reduce stress by lightening their college course load, create space to pursue a second major or minor, and open doors to experiences like study abroad and internships. At UE, students who complete the ICC will have already met general education requirements, except for three transformative courses that define a UE education.

  • The First-Year Seminar invites students into an engaging and thought-provoking academic community, where they build meaningful connections with professors and peers.
  • The Writing Across the Curriculum requirement strengthens the ability to express ideas clearly and confidently, a skill that will serve them in any career.
  • The Senior Capstone Course provides the opportunity for students to apply their knowledge in real-world situations, ensuring they graduate not just with a degree, but with the confidence to take on what's next.

Depending on their major, students may also find that ICC courses fulfill additional degree requirements. UE evaluates individual ICC courses based on standard transfer credit policies, ensuring that students receive the recognition they deserve for their hard work.

With the endorsement of the University Faculty Senate, UE has committed to honoring ICC credits while maintaining the personalized, high-quality education that defines the University of Evansville.
