Articulation Agreements
Articulation, for our purposes, refers specifically to course articulation–that is, the process of developing a formal, written agreement that identifies courses (or sequences of courses) on a “sending” campus that are comparable to, or acceptable in lieu of specific course requirements at a “receiving” campus. Successful completion of an articulated course assures the student and the faculty that the student has taken the appropriate course, received the necessary instruction and preparation, and that similar outcomes can be assured, enabling progression to the next level of instruction at the receiving institution.
Barstow Community College has several articulation agreements with the University of California (UC), California State University (CSU), and many private colleges and universities. Formal articulation agreements assure students that specified coursework completed at Barstow Community College will transfer and satisfy general education and/or lower-division major preparation requirements or electives at the transfer institution.
