Articulation and Consortium Agreements

As part of its land-grant mission to increase access to higher education and to facilitate the transfer of credits between institutions, Michigan State University has entered into formal agreements with a number of institutions, both nationally and internationally. This webpage provides information on agreements that impact degree requirements. There are two primary categories of such agreements:

  • Articulation Agreements are mutual promises of cooperation for particular programmatic purposes to provide program access at whatever location through a pattern of normal transferability of students from one institution to another, without dual enrollment status that is formally recognized or requires any special treatment.
  • Consortium Agreements involve programmatic arrangements that anticipate either dual or intermittent enrollments; anticipate the availability of financial aid; require actions by support offices that are individually tailored to the needs of the program and require unique processing; involve tuition and fee charges that differ according to the source of particular courses in the program; or require understandings based on potential differences in academic policies.

International consortium and articulation agreements that do not impact degree requirements are available at isp.msu.edu.

Internal MSU 3 + 3 agreements that impact degree requirements are available in Academic Programs.

Education Abroad Partner Programs (Exchange and Direct Enroll) are available at MSU RO: Study Abroad Partner Programs (Exchange and Direct Enroll).

Transfer Course Equivalencies are available at Transfer MSU: Search by MSU Course/Institution.

Reverse Transfer agreements are available at MSU RO: Reverse Transfer.

Guidelines to assist in the development or revision of a consortium or articulation agreement.

For advising, students should contact their academic advisors.

For questions regarding any of these agreements, please contact:
