Inquiry Core at Cleveland State University
Cleveland State University's (CSU) Inquiry Core curriculum is designed around nine (9) core competencies that reflect the demands of modern life and the skills most in demand among employers. As a student at Cuyahoga Community College (Tri-C), you may choose to take these Core courses at Tri-C or at CSU. Please contact a Tri-C Counselor for guidance on courses required to receive your associate's degree.
Please note completing your Associate of Arts, Associate of Science, or OT36 at Tri-C will complete the Inquiry Core curriculum at CSU; unless a specific core course is required for your major.
