Sponsored by the Illinois Board of Higher Education and the Illinois Community College Board, the Illinois Articulation Initiative (IAI) ensures that completion of the general education core curriculum at any participating institution in Illinois trtansfers to meet lower division (freshman and sophomore) general education core requirements at more than 100 participating Illinois colleges and universitites. The agreement is in effect for students entering an associate or baccalaureate degree-granting institution as a first-time freshman in summer 1998 and threafter.

General Education Core

The IAI General Education COre requirements are outlined on Page 37. An IAI course number followed by an L designates a laboratory course; a number followed by an N designates a non-Western culture course.
The General Education Core courses also are identified by code at the end of the individual course descriptions.
Those codes include:

• IAI: Communications
• IAI: Mathematics
• IAI: FIne Arts
• Physical Science
• Humanities
• Social and behavioral Science
• Life Sciences

Major-Specific courses

The Illinois Articulation Initiative panels have designated some courses as major-specific within curriculums. While the IAI General Education Courses specifies elective choices, IAI Major-Specific courses clarify which courses are appropriate for transfer into the selected major or a four-year institution.
A notation is included at the end of course descriptions for IAI Major-Specific courses and the Major-Specfic course are noted on the page with the appropriate curriculum.
