All undergraduate students who matriculate as degree-seeking students at Indiana University Bloomington in or after first summer session 2011 will be required to complete the campus-wide General Education requirements prior to graduation with a baccalaureate degree.

The goal of the General Education requirements is that "Every student should leave IU with a broad knowledge of the social and natural world, an appreciation for the arts and humanities, a keen sense of self, an awareness of our membership in a global society, and an understanding of what it means to be thoughtful and responsible citizens of the community, state, and nation in which they live." To meet this goal, the Common Ground requirements are established by the General Education Committee and apply to all undergraduates pursuing a baccalaureate degree. The are: foundational courses in English composition and mathematical modeling and breadth of inquiry courses in arts and humanities, social and historical studies, national and mathematical sciences (at least one of which must be a natural science course), and world languages and cultures.

The learning outcomes the World Languages and Cultures requirement (shared by all undergraduate degree-seeking students) states "Students who complete the requirement will demonstrate knowledge of global issues, processes, trends, and systems, such as economic and political interdependency among nations, environmental-cultural interaction, global governance bodies, and nongovernmental organizations."
