Transfer Articulation

East Tennessee State University

So what does that mean to you? In practical terms, it means that you can take your first two years at a community college, earning an Associate's degree. If you have followed an articulation agreement, then those hours will transfer seamlessly to ETSU. You will enter your major as a junior without loss of credits and with no courses to duplicate at ETSU. You will be well on your way toward earning that Bachelor's degree. We feel that articulation is linked to recruitment, retention, student satisfaction and graduation rates. Students and parents like to have educational plans and assurances that classes will transfer. Articulation is the simplest way to do that. Please feel free to contact us at rainbolt@etsu.edu or by phone at (423) 439-4723.

This web site is designed for you - the student, community college partners, articulation officers, faculty, advisors, administrators - anyone concerned about articulation.

General Education Courses - There is a common core of fully transferable general education courses among all TBR institutions.  Please click here to see a list of Colleges & Universities within the TBR system with approved transferable courses http://www.tbr.state.tn.us/offices/academicaffairs.aspx?id=2934 .
