What is 2 + 2 articulation?
Articulation is defined as the state of being jointed or interrelated. In higher education, it occurs when separate academic programs at different institutions become “jointed and interrelated” in their stated goals and outcomes. The faculties at Vincennes University and the University of Southern Indiana have planned their academic programs so that qualified students who complete a VU associate degree program will enter USI at the junior level with a clear path to a bachelor’s degree in a related major. Completing the associate degree is emphasized as a milestone, and is recognized as an important aspect of articulation.
