articulation agreements

Articulation agreements are formal agreements between colleges or universities that specify how credits earned at one institution can transfer and apply toward a degree at another. They help students move smoothly from one program to another by clarifying which courses count toward future degrees, often making it easier and faster to graduate. These agreements promote clarity and save students time and money by reducing duplication of coursework, ensuring that their prior learning is recognized, and supporting a clear pathway to advanced education or career goals.
