The ICC is a 30 credit hour general education core of college credit guaranteed to transfer between Indiana public colleges and universities. “We are extremely excited to partner with Ivy Tech to provide our students with the Indiana College Core,” said Dr. Jeff Bond, Mitchell High School Principal. “Ivy Tech has been a fantastic group to work with, providing cutting-edge technology with real-world applications.” Students take high school and Ivy Tech classes at the same time through dual credit or dual enrollment.
