Civics Literacy Proficiency
The Civics Literacy Proficiency activities are designed to develop civic knowledge of Purdue Northwest students in an effort to graduate a more informed citizenry.
Students will complete the Proficiency by passing a test of civic knowledge, and completing one of three paths:
- Attending six approved civics-related events and completing an assessment for each; or
- Completing 12 podcasts created by the Purdue Center for C-SPAN Scholarship and Engagement that use C-SPAN material and completing an assessment for each; or
- Earning a passing grade for one of the approved courses (or transferring in approved AP or departmental credit in lieu of taking a course)
For more information visit the Civics Literacy Proficiency website.

Note 2: No mathematics courses below MA 16300 are allowed for credit (but do count toward GPA)
Note 3: The best time to take the Content test is prior to Gate 3 (EDCI 30900 , EDCI 32300 , EDCI 34400 ). During EDCI 35500 the roster will be used to identify students
Note 4: CS 30900 Discrete Mathematical Structures , may be substituted for MA 34800 Discrete Mathematics
The best time for the Pedagogy test is during EDCI 34400 , tis roster will be used to identify students
A financial incentive to assist in paying for the first test attempt is being implemented. If test not passed, there is no penalty in student’s program. Students must register by the end of the semester of EDCI 35500 for Content Area Core and EDCI 34400 for Pedagogy Core
College Scorecard
The U.S. Department of Education has created a scorecard for each university and its programs. The scorecard shows data for the university such as graduation rate, average annual cost, and median earnings. Then, when certain minimum standards have been met, data are available for a specific program. That data could include median earnings, median total debt, and number of graduates.
