Otterbein University signed articulation agreements with six community colleges on Thursday, May 19, at the Capital Club in downtown Columbus.
Ohio Board of Regents Chancellor Jim Petro and AICUO President C. Todd Jones were in attendance.
Now partnering with Otterbein are: Central Ohio Technical College, Clark State Community College, Marion Technical College, North Central State College, Southern State Community College and Zane State College.
The articulation agreements facilitate the smooth transition of students from these two-year community colleges to Otterbein’s four-year degree programs.
“We recognize that the educational experiences found at our state community colleges help students begin their academic and professional potential. At Otterbein University, they will find a campus equally as personal, as invested, and as caring as they have known at their previous institution,” said President Krendl.
The articulation agreements guarantee admission with junior standing to all students who graduate from one of the partner institution with an associate’s degree, providing the student’s grade point average is at least 2.0. In addition, all college-level credits earned with a grade of C or better at the partner college will be applied toward Otterbein’s curriculum requirements.
If a student chooses to transfer from one of the partner colleges to Otterbein before earning an associate’s degree, the partnering institution will give that student the opportunity to complete an associate’s degree with Otterbein course credits.
