General Education Core Curriculum
DACC also offers the General Education Core Curriculum (GECC) Certificate as an option for transfer-oriented students. The GECC Certificate represents completion of the General Education Core Curriculum as a part of a transferable degree. DACC is a participant in the Illinois Articulation Initiative (IAI), a statewide agreement that allows transfer of the completed Illinois General Edu- cation Core Curriculum between participating institutions.
A list of participating institutions can be found at http://itransfer.org/courses/participatingschools.php
Completion of the GECC assures transferring stu- dents that lower-division general education require- ments for an associate or bachelor’s degree have been satisfied. Completion of the 37-41 credit hours also meets the general education requirements for all of DACC’s transfer associate degrees. The credential is not a workforce certificate nor industry-recognized credential. Please note, education, science, technol- ogy, engineering, and mathematics majors will be di- rected to take specific general education courses for their majors. DACC Academic Advisors (Lincoln Hall, Room 104) can help students select the courses that meet their education and certificate/degree goals.
