Articulation Agreements

Iowa Western Community College has an excellent reputation in regard to transferring credits to four-year institutions. Because Iowa Western believes that cooperative agreements benefit students by allowing a smooth transition for students transferring on to four-year institutions and by maximizing transfer credits, many articulation agreements have been developed.

The agreements take two forms: Associate of Arts Degree Articulation Agreements and course-by-course articulation. Students who have earned an Associate of Arts degree at Iowa Western and are transferring to the State Universities (Iowa State University, University of Iowa, and University of Northern Iowa) in either the College of Liberal Arts or the College of Arts & Sciences have met general education requirements and start as juniors.

The following list of college websites will serve as a valuable resource regarding articulation as well as other transfer information; however, it is important that students contact the institution to which they plan to transfer in order to double check credit transfer.
