Articulation Information

Western Michigan University partners with the following institutions to make articulation information available as transfer guides and articulation agreements.

Transfer guides

A transfer guide is a listing of community college courses that meet specific course requirements of a program at the University. Guides of courses that meet WMU's general education requirements and transfer guides for popular WMU majors are available from the Transfer Credit page. 

Articulation agreements

Articulation agreements are formal, written documents agreed upon by two or more institutions. In comparison to traditional transfer program guides, articulation agreements may include: a value-added component that allows additional transfer credits; an enhanced number of quality learning options; and unique student-centered options (e.g., waiver of certain requirements, added student support services, etc.). Information about the following agreements is available from the colleges listed below, the WMU Office of Admissions (domestic), or the Haenicke Institute (international).

If you are interested in creating a new articulation agreement, please complete our articulation intent form. You may also contact Colin Scott at 269-387-3532 or by email at colin.scott@wmich.edu and he will assist.
