In 2024, I supported a law for all state high schools to offer the Indiana College Core by the 2026-2027 school year. Established in 2012, the Indiana College Core is a block of college-level coursework in six competency areas. If successfully completed, these credit hours automatically transfer to all Indiana public colleges and universities and some private institutions.

It’s the equivalent of a full year of college general education credits for little to no cost, saving time and money. While all Indiana high schools are supposed to offer the college core by next school year, we’re already seeing a steady increase in the number of schools who’ve implemented the program. This academic year, 312 high schools are offering Indiana College Core, an increase of more than 250% from four years ago. As the Director of Early College High School in Evansville, the only school in the area to provide the Indiana college Core, I have seen what a difference it makes for our students to be able to transfer those credits to the state university of their choice and start college ahead of their peers.
