Articulations

Quinsigamond has formal agreements with a number of public and private colleges covering 14 QCC programs.  These agreements specify admissions requirements leading to acceptance and/or QCC courses that will be accepted in transfer.

 

What are articulation agreements?

• Formal contracts between QCC and other educational institutions
• They specify which QCC programs are included
• They specify which QCC courses will transfer

What are the benefits of articulation agreements?

• Guaranteed acceptance from a QCC program to a given major

• Guaranteed transfer of QCC courses

• They assure Junior/Upperclass student standing in certain majors

• Transfer scholarships may be available

• Takes the guesswork out of identifying courses which transfer to the specific institution

What's required in articulation agreements?

Requirements may vary from school to school, and agreement to agreement. One or more of the following may apply:

• Earn the Associate degree
• Meet GPA requirements
• Participate in an interview
• Provide Portfolio
• Designate the number of credits to transfer (there may be limits)

Do we have to have articulation agreements in order to transfer?

Articulation agreements are most valuable in disciplines where disagreements often arise over the sequencing or prerequisites for specific courses.  In areas such as Liberal Arts, which lead to many different academic disciplines, formal agreements are less important.  In other areas such as Nursing, where the sequencing of courses is hotly debated, they are more important.

Please note: Articulation agreements are usually valid for 3-5 years from the date they are agreed to and signed. Date of articulation in effect is identified under each four-year institution. For any general questions related to these articulations, contact the Transfer Office.
