IGA Associates can validate our online training courses for college credit towards an Associate of Science Degree in Business - Retailing from UC. This degree is completely online and students have the option to upskill to advanced degrees, such as a bachelor’s, master’s or Ph.D.
ICCI online courses make up 25% of the Associate of Science Degree in Business - Retailing which means that 25% of the degree is FREE to Associates using ICCI’s training.

“We’re excited to begin our partnership with the IGA Coca-Cola Institute. We believe education is the key to a life more abundant, and should be accessible to anyone who wishes to pursue it. For some, a college degree may not have been attainable or affordable. Through this unique partnership, retail employees will be able to pursue a quality education while continuing to work and support their families.” |
