Articulation Agreements

What Are Articulation Agreements?

Articulation agreements are formal partnerships between the College of the Muscogee Nation (CMN) and four-year institutions that create seamless pathways for students to transfer from associate degree programs to bachelor’s degree programs. These agreements ensure that courses taken at CMN will transfer and count toward degree requirements at partner institutions.

Benefits for Students:

  • Clear transfer pathways from associate to bachelor’s degrees
  • Avoid duplicating coursework
  • Save time and money on your educational journey
  • Receive priority consideration for admission to partner institutions
  • Access to resources at both institutions
