IUPUI General Education Core Curriculum

All first-year IUPUI students will complete 30 credit hours of general education coursework, known as the IUPUI 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 IUPUI 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.

More specific expectations for IUPUI’s graduates are determined by the faculty in a student’s major field of study. Together, these expectations speak to what graduates of IUPUI will know and what they will be able to do upon completion of their degrees. It is important to note that the IUPUI 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 IUPUI 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 IUPUI General Education Core by the IUPUI Undergraduate Affairs Committee 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

IUPUI 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.
