The Lincoln Program
The Illinois Board of Higher Education mandates 37 hours of course work across the bachelor’s degree that integrates “communication, mathematics, social and behavioral sciences, life and physical sciences (to include a laboratory component), and humanities and fine arts.” In the CODES pathway, students complete these requirements using transdisciplinary problem solving; diversity of knowledge is integrated within each course. For this reason, students are considered to have finished their general education coursework holistically upon completion of the pathway. If a student leaves the pathway early, the articulation plan demonstrates how the courses can count toward general education requirements in the Lincoln plan.
