EARN COLLEGE CREDITS DURING HIGH SCHOOL

Indiana Next Level Programs of Study

Indiana College Core The Indiana College Core is a block of 30 credit hours of general education college-level coursework that transfers seamlessly among all Indiana public colleges and universities. Students can start earning these credits in high school!

Next Level Programs of Study will provide students the opportunity to complete up to one year’s worth of a postsecondary program through a four (4) course sequence. The first three courses of each program of study will consist of a principles course and two advanced courses required to earn CTE Concentrator status. The three courses may be taken individually or can be completed concurrently for programs that are able to offer extended training sessions. Some programs of study will also include an optional capstone course that may be taken for up to 6 credits.

Who should earn the Indiana College Core?

The MCCSC offers students 29 of the 53 Next Level Programs of Study.

High school students who are planning to enroll in college after graduation. Students should talk to their school counselors about whether the Indiana College Core is the right choice for them—based on availability at their high school, their expected major and the colleges where they might enroll.

Hoosiers entering college who aren’t sure what major to pursue. The Indiana College Core is a good option for Hoosiers who are entering college at an Indiana public institution who aren’t sure which major to declare. Because the Core is 30-credit hours of general education courses, it will transfer into and support students on their way to most degrees.

Make sure to talk to your high school counselor or college advisor. Talking to an expert at your school will help you make the best, most relevant and efficient course selections— whether you’re enrolling in high school or college.

PRINCIPLE COURSE: 2 CREDITS

CONCENTRATOR A COURSE: 2 CREDITS

CONCENTRATOR B COURSE: 2 CREDITS
