Officially referred to as "articulation agreements", Columbia State has forged relationships with other state and private four-year institutions where a Bachelor's degree can be started at Columbia State, and finished at the participating university. This assures a seamless transfer, and prevents wasted credit hours that may not transfer.
Each institution has a local coordinator that handles the transfer agreement, in conjunction with the University Center at Columbia State.
Current Agreements
