Articulation Agreement
Adopted October 21, 1994
PURPOSE: The purpose of this agreement among two-year and four-year institutions of higher education in Arkansas is to assist students holding an Associate of Arts degree to move smoothly from a two-year college to a four-year institution. The partnership reflected by this agreement should increase graduation rates, facilitate the transfer process, and foster greater collegiality in the intellectual marketplace of the state.
AGREEMENT: Satisfactory completion of an Associate of Arts degree designed for transfer will be accepted as satisfying the general education requirements of the signatory four-year institutions. This agreement does not address specific degree requirements outside of the General Education component, such as major or minor courses. Students should select those courses based on the specific degree requirements at the institution expected to award the baccalaureate degree. A student who holds an Associate of Arts degree with a 2.0 cumulative grade point average will be accepted for transfer subject to the following conditions:
- The Associate of Arts degree must include the following courses:
- English Composition - 6 semester hours
- Arts and Humanities - 9 semester hours (including 3 semester hours of survey of literature)
- Speech - 3 semester hours
- College Algebra - 3 semester hours
- Natural Science (Lab/Biology/Physical Science) - 8 semester hours
- Social Sciences* - 15 semester hours (including 3 semester hours in U. S. History or Government and 3 semester hours in Survey of Civilization)
- Health/Physical Education - 2 semester hours TOTAL: 46 semester hours
- Remedial course grades will not be computed in the cumulative grade point average for purposes of admission to a 4-year institution;
- Courses taken to satisfy AA degree requirements must have a "C" or better in order to transfer to a four-year institution;
- Degree and program requirements (catalog rights) for students who transfer from a two-year institution to a four-year institution under this agreement will be determined in the same manner as if their initial enrollment had been at the four-year institution; and
- Participating institutions will provide all other participating colleges and universities with current copies of catalogs/curricular requirements as they are published.
- Calculation of overall GPA for purposes of graduation and awarding of honors is left to the discretion of the institution granting the degree or award.
*Social Science electives must include at least three semester hours in two of the following areas: Psychology; Sociology; Economics, Geography; Political Science; or Anthropology.
**All forty-six (46) hours are accepted for transfer to the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, however, each UAF college and professional school may require hours in addition for the completion of its general education requirements.
