General Education Core Curriculum

The General Education Core Curriculum (GECC) credential requirements listed below satisfy the statewide Illinois Articulation Initiative (IAI) and will transfer to participating colleges or universities as meeting their lower-division, campus wide general education requirements. The GECC credential consists of a set of 12 to 13 courses (37 to 41 credits) across five general education areas and is aligned with the Associate in Arts degree and is recommended for transfer students. This credential is earned as part of a transferrable degree and is not a workforce certificate nor industry-recognized credential.
