What Is an Articulation Agreement?
Articulation agreements provide students with a smooth transition between BRTC and another college without losing or having to repeat credit hours. In association with other Arkansas 2-year and 4-year colleges and universities, BRTC has entered articulation agreements with several colleges.
If you are planning to transfer to a 4-year college or university, visit with the transfer office at that 4-year institution as soon as possible to help ensure a smooth transition. We also encourage you to speak with your program advisor regarding these agreements.
AAS Transfer Disclaimer
The Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree is designed primarily for employment purposes. Therefore, one should not assume the AAS can be transferred to another institution. Before transferring the AAS to a 4-year institution, students need to get a written acceptance of the AAS transfer from the institution to which they will be attending. Students should visit with the college or university to which they wish to transfer as early in their college career as possible in order to facilitate a smooth transition upon departure from BRTC.
Before transferring the AAS to a 4-year institution, visit your advisor or check with the institution to which you will be attending as soon as possible in order to facilitate a smooth transition.
