IUFW General Education Core Curriculum
All first-year IUFW students will complete 30 credit hours of general education coursework, known as the General Education Core, prior to graduation with an associate degree or baccalaureate degree. Transfer students who have not received certification for completing the general education core at their prior institutions also must complete the IUFW General Education Core. General education coursework is aligned with the Indiana Statewide Transferable General Education Core competency domains and, once completed, will subsequently transfer to another Indiana state educational institution.
The IUFW General Education Core is also based on the IUFW Principles of Undergraduate Learning, the essential ingredients of an undergraduate educational experience at IUFW. More specific expectations for IUFW’s graduates are determined by the faculty in a student’s major field of study. Together, these expectations speak to what graduates of IUFW will know and what they will be able to do upon completion of their degrees. It is important to note that the IUFW General Education Core does not add to, subtract from, or change any requirements for a specific major. Students need to work closely with an academic advisor to determine what relationship, if any, exists between requirements for general education and requirements for a specific major.
The IUFW General Education Core provides a strong foundation for a rich and intellectually challenging undergraduate experience. Hundreds of courses have been rigorously reviewed and approved to the IUFW General Education Core to provide students with a diverse array of options for fulfilling their general education requirements. Coursework is divided into the broad domains of foundational intellectual skills (core communication, analytical reasoning, and cultural understanding) and intellectual breadth and adaptiveness (life and physical sciences, arts and humanities, and social sciences).
Criminal Activity Disclosure
IUFW is committed to maintaining a safe environment for all members of the university community. As part of this commitment, the university requires applicants who have been convicted of any felony or a misdemeanor such as simple battery or other convictions for behavior that resulted in injury to a person(s) or personal property to disclose this information as a mandatory step in the application process. A previous conviction or previous conduct does not automatically bar admission to the university, but does require review.
