What is Articulation?
Articulation is the process of
evaluating courses to determine whether a particular course offered at one
school is comparable to, or acceptable in lieu of, a corresponding course at
another school.
What is an Articulation
Agreement?
Each institution has its own
program requirements. These requirements
vary based on the intended major area of study.
An articulation agreement is an agreement with a four-year school that
specifies which courses at a two-year school may be transferred to meet general
education, elective or major requirements.
The purpose of articulation is to facilitate the successful transfer of
students from the two-year school to a four-year school.
Different Types of Articulation Agreements:
General Education – The State of Louisiana through the Board of Regents and
all state public postsecondary institutions has coordinated a matrix of general
education courses eligible for transfer.
For specific course information, this matrix can be accessed at

Course-to-Course – The purpose of a course-to-course agreement is
to determine if a specific course taken at one college will satisfy a
requirement at another college.
Program-to-Program – Currently the schools comprising the Southern
University System (Southern University-Baton Rouge, Southern University-New
Orleans, and Southern University-Shreveport), are working on program-to-program
articulation agreements for common programs.
These agreements will specify which specific courses will transfer from
Southern University-Shreveport into majors at Southern University-Baton Rouge
and Southern University-New Orleans.
