Ashford University formed articulation agreements with seven community and regional colleges in the fourth quarter of 2012. With these agreements, graduates of two-year colleges will be able to transfer credits toward a bachelor’s degree at Ashford University.

The colleges that entered into articulation agreements with Ashford University are Blinn College in Brenham, Texas; Temple College in Temple, Texas; Butler Community College in El Dorado, Kan.; Roane State College in Harriman, Tenn.; Northern Marianas College in Saipan, Northern Mariana Islands; Santa Fe Community College in Santa Fe, N.M.; and Sullivan Community College in Loch Sheldrake, N.Y.

“Ashford University’s new articulation agreements will be a great benefit to all schools involved,” stated Mark Young, divisional vice president of academic partnerships for Ashford University. “With the opportunity to progress to a four-year degree, the students of these seven schools can begin their college education locally and finish with Ashford University.”
