IICC Courses

The four courses in the Integration, Insight, Creativity, Character or IICC framework are designed to complement and enhance disciplinary study and to directly address important skills: active synthesis, appreciation of multiple perspectives, and contribution to an evolving society.

The courses demonstrate a direct approach to integrative learning by creating a deeper understanding of concepts in the following areas:

Integration—systems thinking and the art of synthesis (Spring 2010 - Present)

Insight—seeing the world through multi- , inter-, and trans-disciplinary lenses (Fall 2010 - Present)

Creativity—responding to complexity by designing desirable futures (coming Spring 2012)

Character—serving an evolving society (coming Fall 2012)

These courses were contributions to Ithaca College's Intergrative Curriculum Initiative, (IC)2.

"We hope that these demonstration projects will serve as an illustration of and inspiration for the (IC)2 concept as the college plans for a more widespread implementation in the future." Provost Kathleen Rountree
