Community College Counselors

Illinois State strives to build a closer bond with not only community colleges in the state of Illinois, but across the nation. Here we've provided quick access to some of the most important resources in helping a student decide whether or not Illinois State is right for them.

75-Hour Policy

Illinois State University has implemented a policy that mirrors what many other universities are practicing with students who have not declared a major. This policy has been developed as an effort to service our students more appropriately and encourage degree-seeking status. More information on this policy can be found on the Find Your Major web site.

Foreign language graduation requirement

We encourage transfer students to complete foreign language graduation requirements prior to attending Illinois State University.

College of Arts and Sciences
All graduates pursuing a bachelor of science in the College of Arts and Sciences must satisfy a foreign language requirement that may be met by:

• Three years of one language in high school.
• Completion of the second semester (LAN 112) or higher of a college-level foreign language with a grade of C or better.
• American Sign Language may be used to fulfill this requirement by transfer credit.

Bachelor of Arts
All students pursuing a bachelor of arts in any program will require knowledge of a foreign language as demonstrated by successful completion of three semesters (LAN 115), or a course proficiency test. Completion of three years in high school has no bearing on this requirement.
