Articulation agreements also known as 2+2 agreements, are official agreements between community colleges and baccalaureate degree granting colleges and universities. 2+2 agreements allow students to take two years of prescribed course work at a community college and then transfer these credits to a four year school, which culminates in a bachelor's degree of their choice.
The agreements specify the courses taught at the community college that the upper division college or university will accept. Because institutions independently determine all of the requirements for their programs, articulation agreements differ from program to program and from college to college. After meeting the academic standards set forth in the agreement with the community college of choice, students apply to the bachelor's program to which they had planned to transfer. In most cases, they are accepted with full junior status.
Participating in an articulation agreement for transfer to a college or university helps ensure that students won't have to retake successfully completed courses and earn additional credits to enter as a junior. In a 2 + 2 agreement, the primary college or university has typically agreed to accept an entire associate's degree, student is accepted at the junior level, and is required to complete the equivalent of two years of full-time coursework to complete the baccalaureate. The intent of the 2+2 is meant to create a seamless transition from one school to the other.
