Articulation Agreements

What is an Articulation Agreement? An Articulation Agreement promotes the orderly progress of students who transfer to a baccalaurete degree program after earning an associates degree from a community college. This agreement is most commonly arranged, between two or more institutions that specify which courses may be transferred to meet the general education core, major and elective requirements. Further, it outlines what courses a student will need to complete upon transferring to Tennessee State University.

What is a "Two-plus-Two" Articulation Agreement Plan? A "two + two" articulation agreement plan specifies programs of study for students who plan to take the first two years of course work at a community college and the last two years of course work at a baccalaureate institution. Students who follow the advising guides established in the articulation agreements are given academic credit for all of their college studies.
