About Articulation Agreements and Cooperative Programs

An articulation agreement is a formal, signed agreement between Thiel College and a partner institution. It outlines the parameters of a seamless transfer in a particular program. Cooperative programs are scheduled with other institutions of higher learning. Each cooperative program has a stated coordinator, and students must have the formal approval of the coordinator to enroll in any cooperative program.
