Which term describes programs that facilitate student movement between programs and accept transfer credit between institutions?

• A. Articulated Programs
• B. Articulation Agreements
• C. Master's Ed.
• D. PhD

Answer: (B)

Articulation agreements are formal arrangements between colleges or universities that spell out how credits transfer and how programs align so students can move between them smoothly. They specify which courses will transfer, how they apply to degree requirements, and what pathway exists from one program to another, such as from an associate degree to a bachelor’s program. This ensures students aren’t losing credits and have a clear roadmap for progression. The other terms aren’t about transfer partnerships: degree levels like Master’s Ed. and PhD describe advanced credentials, and “articulated programs” isn’t the standard term used to describe formal transfer-credit agreements between institutions.
