Transfer Articulation Agreements

Faculty members at the University of Arizona (UA) who are interested in establishing a pathway to a UA degree program for undergraduate international students from a specific institution should consider the transfer articulation process.

A transfer articulation agreement is a binding, legal contract that formalizes the terms of collaboration between the UA and the partner institution.

Arizona International works with faculty at the UA and the partner institutions involved to review curriculum in the desired degree program and to determine an appropriate plan of study: Bridge Certificate to Master’s (CMP) programs (3+1+1) and other transfer articulation programs (1+3, 2+2, etc.) involve taking coursework at both institutions.

Through the articulation process, coursework is evaluated by both institutions and mapped in advance, making it easier for students to pursue the degree and transfer credit to the UA. Transfer articulation agreements should outline a unique and constructive new venture that reflects an institutional priority and firm commitment from the academic units involved.
