50-State Comparison: Transfer and Articulation Policies
Whinnery, Erin; Peisach, Lauren
Education Commission of the States
Transfer policies and articulation agreements aim to provide seamless transitions between and across technical or community colleges and four-year institutions. While many articulation agreements exist at the institution- or system-level, states are increasingly setting statewide credit transfer requirements, ensuring all students enter their postsecondary career with similar understandings of -- and options for -- success. This interactive comparison reviews four transfer metrics in all 50 states: (1) Common course numbering; (2) Transferable core of lower-division courses; (3) Guaranteed transfer of an associate degree; and (4) Reverse transfer. Hyperlinked data tables for 50-state comparisons showing how all states approach specific policies are provided. A specific state's approach can be viewed by going to the individual state profile page.
