Inquiry Core at Cleveland State University

Cleveland State University's Inquiry Core curriculum is designed around eleven (11) core competencies that reflect the demands of modern life and the skills most in demand among employers. As a student at Lakeland Community College (LCC), you may choose to take these Core courses at LCC or at CSU. Please contact a LCC advisor for guidance on courses required to receive your associate's degree.
