Agreements & Special Programs

Community College Partnership 

Successful completion of an Associate in Arts degree allows students to transfer with junior status, having met all first-year and sophomore-level general education requirements for programs in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (CLAS) and Ivy College of Business.

  • CLAS programs require specific numbers of credits in humanities and in natural sciences.
  • Ivy College of Business programs require credits in ethics and in global perspectives.

IAI Participant

This college or university participates in the Illinois Articulation Initiative.

The Illinois Articulation Initiative General Education Core Curriculum (IAI GECC) is a collection of general education courses that, when completed, an IAI participating institution agrees to accept in place of its own comparable lower-division general education requirements. Completing the IAI GECC works best for students who plan to transfer to an IAI participating school but who have not decided which one.

When the IAI GECC is not completed before transfer, the transfer school will evaluate general education courses on a course-by-course basis.
