Most of ILCC’s classes are an option for you to take, these are just some “general studies recommendations.”   If you are considering any school other than ILCC after high school, check with those colleges on transferability.   This would be a good item to contact the admissions counselor at the college for.  Here is a link to many colleges ELC Admisisons counselor  HERE or you can always call the college admissions office and ask this of them.


** I would not suggest ILCC online classes unless you have done well in an online high school course - they are much harder and students don’t do as well in general in these courses**
