If you complete the ICC, you will have met UE's general education requirements, except for these signature courses that make a UE education truly distinctive:

• First-Year Seminar: A transformative first step into college life, this interactive course encourages deep discussions and sparks intellectual curiosity—all while connecting you with peers and professors at UE.

• Senior Capstone Course: This culminating experience challenges you to apply your knowledge to real-world scenarios and confidently step into your next chapter—whether that's a career or graduate school.

Courses from the ICC may count toward some major requirements, depending on the course and your grade. If you are transferring individual ICC courses, UE will evaluate them using standard transfer credit policies.
