2019 Summer Class Schedule [ARCHIVED PUBLICATION]

Core 39 and the Core Transfer Library (CTL)


Core 39

The University introduced a new 39 credit hour core curriculum (known as Core 39) in Fall 2014, which replaced the existing 50 credit hour University Core Curriculum (known as UCC).

A university education prepares individuals to live wisely in a diverse and global community by helping students acquire both discipline-specific competence and broader knowledge and skills that reach across disciplines. Core 39 includes courses in the broad traditions of the liberal arts and a common set of experiences that are integrated across the curriculum. In our core, students expand foundational skills in communication and critical thinking, explore how different fields create and use knowledge, broaden their viewpoints through the study of diverse and global perspectives, and refine their writing skills through writing intensive experiences. 

Within Core 39, students will complete coursework from three broad categories:

  • Foundation Skills (14 hours)
  • Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science (13 hours)
  • Ways of Knowing (12 hours)

Students will also complete four Embedded Experience courses, which can come from Core 39, the major or minor, or elective coursework.

The 2015 Core 39 brochure  includes Core 39 courses approved as of the time this class schedule was published. Additions and deletions may occur. Visit www.usi.edu/core39 or speak with your academic advisor or the University Core Director for the most recent information.


Core Transfer Library (CTL) Courses and Common Course Numbers

Indiana is working to help students transfer college credits more easily. TransferIN was developed as the state’s official source for course transfer information across campuses and institutions. Indiana’s Core Transfer Library (CTL) is a list of courses that will transfer among all Indiana public college and university campuses, assuming adequate grades. For more information, visit TransferIN.net.

Each public institution will map their unique course numbers to a common course numbering system. The current list of CTL courses at USI, along with the corresponding common course ID, is found here.
