Main Content
SIU Carbondale is a participant in the Illinois Articulation Initiative (IAI), a statewide agreement that allows transfer of the completed Transferable General Education Core Curriculum between participating institutions. Completion of the General Education Core Curriculum at any participating college or university in Illinois assures transferring students that general education requirements for the bachelor’s degree have been satisfied. This agreement is in effect for students entering an associate or baccalaureate degree-granting institution as a first-time freshman in Summer 1998 (and thereafter).
Students who have completed the Illinois Transferable General Education Core (IAIGECC) and have been certified as complete by the sending institution will have completed the University Core Curriculum requirements for general graduation purposes at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. Certification of the Illinois Transferable General Education Core must contain the minimum requirements shown on the following chart:
Illinois Transferrable General Education Core Curriculum Minimum Requirements
| Area | Number of Courses | Semester Hours | Special Requirements |
|---|---|---|---|
| Communication | 3 | 9 | Two Writing, one Oral Communication (C or better is required for the Writing sequence) |
| Mathematics | 1 or 2 | 3-6 | |
| Physical & Life Sciences 1 | 2 | 7-8 | One Life Science and one Physical Science; one must have a lab |
| Humanities & Fine Arts | 3 | 9 | At least one course selected from Humanities and one course from the Fine Arts |
| Social & Behavioral Science | 3 | 9 | Two disciplines must be represented: Anthropology, History, Economics, Human Geography, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology, Interdisciplinary Social/Behavioral Science |
| Total | 12-13 | 37-41 |
1Students with appropriate preparation may substitute an initial major course designed for science majors.
Transfer courses from 1996 and forward will be audited to determine if they will fulfill the model above.

Illinois Articulation Initiative Major Courses
The IAI Major Panels have identified a Common Core of no more than four courses in a subject area generally required at the lower-division at major senior institutions in the State of Illinois. The intention of the Common Core is to provide some guidance to those students who know they would like to major in a particular subject area, but are unsure as to which senior institution they plan to attend to complete their baccalaureate studies.
SIU Carbondale is a participant in IAI individual baccalaureate major agreements. The courses listed below are the SIU Carbondale courses that have been approved for inclusion in the Major Common Core. Check the Illinois Articulation Initiative website for the IAI Baccalaureate Majors’ Recommendations for specific majors at: www.itransfer.org/iai/majors.
