Goals

This site seeks to accomplish the following:

  1. To provide information about Transfer and Articulation between community colleges and universities.
  2. To promote successful progression of science, math, and engineering technology (SMET) minority students from community colleges to universities.

What is transfer and articulation?

Transfer
The progression of students from two-year institutions into four-year universities.

Articulation
Articulation is defined as the matching or fitting of courses offered in one institution toward the satisfaction of a particular degree program in another institution.  Articulation is said to exist when the courses for a program of study, which are offered in one institution, are recognized by another institution as being comparable to its corresponding courses, such that students from both institutions are equally prepared for the more advanced courses offered in the institution conferring the degree in that program of study.

It is communication between two institutions to foster any kind of agreement that supports transfer.  It requires the sharing of information.   The mechanics of articulation may include may academic and non-academic agreements and arrangements.  Texas AMP continues to support and encourage the sharing of information.


We encourage you to Browse, Input, and Extract transfer and articulation information relevant to you and your institution.
