State Update
Indiana University continues to leverage its intellectual and creative resources to address the educational and workforce development needs of the Hoosier state. The newest State Update spotlights how IU’s partnerships with Indiana high schools are giving students a head start on a college career and the confidence and readiness for long-term success.
IU integrates new state literacy requirements
As part of its ongoing commitment to supporting educational progress across the state, Indiana University Indianapolis has been certified by the Indiana Commission for Higher Education as an Indiana College Core campus. Through Indiana College Core, Hoosier students earn no-cost IU college credits to jumpstart their higher education journey.
“We recognize the impact the program can have on students’ confidence, college readiness and long-term success,” said Latha Ramchand, inaugural chancellor of IU Indianapolis and executive vice president of Indiana University. “We are eager to partner with schools across Indiana to make these benefits a reality.”
Partner high schools also gain access to a strong Indiana College Core community of peer schools, which means guidance and support, opportunities for collaborative learning, and year-round engagement through a variety of events and resources in the IU-Indiana College Core Network, which already includes the IU Bloomington, East, Kokomo, Northwest, South Bend and Southeast campuses. This partnership empowers educators to establish and maintain successful Indiana College Core programs, while also facilitating the sharing of innovative ideas and best practices.
