In June 2021, the Purdue University Board of Trustees adopted a civics literacy graduation requirement for undergraduates, including all transfer students.  This requirement applies to all undergraduate students who enter Purdue at IUPUI in the fall of 2022 or any subsequent semester.

The Civics Literacy Proficiency activities were created to enhance the educational experience of Purdue students and graduate a more informed citizenry.

The activities and required test to establish Civics Literacy Proficiency will build and increase your civics knowledge.  

The Civics Literacy Proficiency activities will:

• Increase your understanding of important contemporary political issues.
• Identify opportunities to grow your engagement in American politics.
• Expand your awareness of and options for civic participation.
