图标, or Interdisciplinary Connections, are a collection of courses that share a focus on a timely and pressing theme or problem. You will choose 16 credit hours from these courses to create the basis of your general education curriculum. iCon coursework is distinct but complementary to your major studies and will provide a firm foundation in the liberal arts that is at the heart of a fine college education. At the same time, your iCon will help you think about issues relevant to our world from different disciplinary perspectives and prepare you to engage with that world into the future.
