What is the Indiana College Core?

ICCLogo WhiteBackground

Indiana College Core
Do you want to get a head start on college? The Indiana College Core (ICC) allows high school students to earn 30 general education credits that can be transferred as a block to any public college or university in Indiana, as well as some private institutions. In other words, students who earn the College Core in high school may already be finished with their first year of college at a fraction of the cost. To learn more about the Indiana College Core and put together your plan, use My College Core (mycollegecore.org) and work closely with your school counselor.
