Transfer Articulation Agreement
Transfer Articulation Agreement
Students graduating from an accredited Kansas community college with an associate of science or an associate of arts degree based on a baccalaureate oriented sequence will automatically be granted junior standing at Pittsburg State University under the Transfer Articulation Agreement and will have satisfied the general education requirements based on the guidelines below. Although the guidelines do not correspond to the General Education requirements at Pittsburg State University, it will be accepted as having satisfied the PSU General Education program. Students not meeting the articulation agreement will be given general education credit for any articulated general education course completed at the community college.

Twelve (12) hours of Basic Skills courses, including:

Students with an associate degree who have not met the transfer articulation requirements may complete the remainder of the requirements at PSU or fulfill the PSU General Education program.

Points of Clarification
- Students transferring into a degree program in the College of Technology are considered outside of this agreement.
- Foreign Language requirements are viewed as graduation requirements and not as general education requirements for purposes of this agreement.
- A transfer student may be required to take freshman or sophomore courses to meet degree or graduation requirements.
- Transfer students preparing for teacher certification must meet the general education requirements as outlined by the State Board of Education.
