Community Leadership and Civic Engagement 2 + 2 Plan

             For Community College Transfer Students

What Classes Should I Take at My Community College?

As you earn your associate's degree or work toward completion of the IAI General Education Core Curriculum, you should try to take classes that will satisfy requirements for your degree at NIU. For example, you must choose either a B.A. or B.S. sequence at NIU. A B.S. at NIU requires you to take a combination of math and science courses (check the Articulation Tables to see which classes at your community college are equivalent to required courses at NIU).  A B.A. requires completion of a foreign language sequence or four years of a high school foreign language with grades of 'C' or better.  For more details about these and other NIU requirements, consult the Undergraduate Catalog.

Following is a four-semester plan for a community college:

Note:  Check Articulation Tables for your school's equivalents of the courses specifically named above:

•  ENGL 103
•  ENGL 104
•  COMS 100
•  SOCI 170
•  MGMT 217

NOTE:  The Enterprise, Global and ENVS emphasis areas require ECON 260 and 261.  These could be take at a community college, but please note the impact it has on completion of the social sciences are of the general education requirements at NIU.
