What is an "Articulation Agreement"?

Articulation agreements can help you transfer credits from one school to another, making it faster, and more cost-effective to earn your degree. They make it so you don’t have to repeat things you have already learned. One of the ways schools transfer these credits is through articulation agreements with other colleges and universities.  Knowing how these agreements work can help you make sure you’re able to transfer as many credits as possible towards your degree.
