INDIANAPOLIS — A Senate committee heard testimony on a bill Wednesday that will allow the Indiana Commission for Higher Education to monitor the number of credit hours for new and existing college degree programs.
The bill would limit the number of credits a school can require to 60 for an associate degree and 120 for a bachelor’s degree.

The Library of Congress has chosen a documentary by a former Occidental College professor as one of 25 American films to permanently preserve in its National Film Registry as cultural, artistic and historical treasures.

But having a counselor that works for an Ivy admissions company does not give you an added advantage.
Dont misunderstand me.
