Cooperation between IUSB and Purdue University makes it possible for students to take the freshman year, and in some cases the sophomore year, of engineering at the IUSB campus. A student who satisfactorily completes this program may transfer to the West Lafayette campus of Purdue University for course work leading to the bachelor s degree in any of the Schools of Engineering or in mathematical science. The student must apply to Purdue as a transfer student and must meet Purdue s requirements for transfer students. See the section in this Bulletin on Purdue University School of Technology. A student who wishes to transfer to Purdue into a school other than engineering or mathematics should consult with the Purdue Office of Admissions.
If a transfer from an Indiana University campus to Purdue is approved, all approved courses will transfer with both credit hours and grades.
A student who enters this program must meet the usual requirements for admission to engineering at Purdue University. The student also will be required to take placement tests for proper assignments. Full-time students should complete 16 to 18 credit hours per semester in order to be ready for the sophomore year of engineering at Purdue University.
A student who wishes further guidance and counseling should consult with program advisors at IUSB.

CERTIFICATE OF INTERNATIONAL STUDIES
The International Studies Certificate allows students from all disciplines to add international breadth to their program. In an increasingly interdependent world, it is vital to develop expertise in this area. Evidence of focused international study is looked upon as a key distinction by employers in business, government, education, the arts, human services, and other areas, as well as by graduate and professional schools.
The certificate consists of a minimum of 15 credit hours of courses designated as having an international focus, and two semesters of a foreign language. Although not required, a study abroad experience is recommended. All study abroad counts toward the certificate, and if it involves another language, it also counts toward the language requirement.
The 21 hours must be distributed as follows:
6 credit hours in a foreign language
15 credit hours (after the foreign language) must include no more than one 100-level and at least one 400-level
course
The 21 credit hours must include courses from three academic units in a program that focuses either on a topic or a geographic area. The courses can also satisfy other liberal arts and sciences requirements.
If you wish to earn a Certificate of International Studies, please contact the director to design a program.
Secondary Teachers Certificates
With careful planning, a student may earn a standard teacher
s certificate while working for a bachelor
s degree in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. For details see School of Education in this Bulletin.
Urban Studies, Correctional Management, Public Health and Public Affairs Certificates
A student may earn certificates in Correctional Management, Public Affairs, Public Health, and Urban Studies, while working for a bachelor s degree in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, completing all the requirements in four years.
Selection of courses for the liberal arts and sciences general education requirement should be made with the certificate programs in mind.
Early consultation with the advisor of the Division of Public and Environmental Affairs is advised. For a description
of the requirements for the certificate programs, see the Division of Public and Environmental Affairs section
of this Bulletin.
