Articulation is mainly used to help make the transition from high school or ROP to college seamless for students. The benefits are many and they are not only for the student, but for your program as well.
- Guiding students toward future educational and career opportunities
- Validating your high school courses and bolstering your program
- Creating partnerships with community colleges
Articulation programs allow you to work with local community college faculty as partners, rather than competitors. The forging of an articulation agreement is a joint process, both community college faculty and high school/ROP teachers come together to develop a program that is at a level on which both parties can agree.
High school and ROP students are more likely to enroll in and apply themselves to a secondary school program if they are also advancing themselves toward college and their career at the same time. Likewise, more students will pursue an educational pathway in college if they have already made progress in high school. Articulation agreements put both YOU and community college faculty on the same team, and can benefit programs at both institutions.
