Academics
The institution is mostly known to students for its University Transfer program. The program is a two-year program that emphasizes the requirements of the first two years of a U.S. undergraduate degree that includes general educational requirements. While at ICMIC, students fulfill the general education requirements and, thereafter, transfer these credits to cooperating colleges and universities in the U.S.
The University Transfer Program operates in cooperation with Broward Community College, Florida (BCC). Broward Community College is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award Associate Degrees. The Commission on Colleges has granted approval for Broward to offer accredited courses and award Associate degrees in Bangalore in cooperation with the Centre for American Education.
BCC awards two types of degrees: the Associate of Arts (A.A.) and the Associate of Science (A.S.). The Associate of Arts degree was designed as a transfer degree and consists of courses equivalent to those offered to freshman and sophomore students in the lower division of Florida's state universities. The Associate of Science degree is a career education and transfer degree.
The Center strictly follows BCCs admissions, general education courses, and graduation requirements. Academically qualified students register at BCC and receive a BCC transcript for classes taken in Bangalore. This facilitates the transfer of qualified students to higher education institutions in the US and other American programs in the world. Faculty members credentials are approved by BCC and SACS.

Famous quotes containing the word academics:
“Our first line of defense in raising children with values is modeling good behavior ourselves. This is critical. How will our kids learn tolerance for others if our hearts are filled with hate? Learn compassion if we are indifferent? Perceive academics as important if soccer practice is a higher priority than homework?”
—Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
“Almost all scholarly research carries practical and political implications. Better that we should spell these out ourselves than leave that task to people with a vested interest in stressing only some of the implications and falsifying others. The idea that academics should remain “above the fray” only gives ideologues license to misuse our work.”
—Stephanie Coontz (b. 1944)
