UMBC welcomes over 1,300 transfer students each year and enjoys strong partnerships (i.e. program-to-program agreements) and collaborative relationships with two and four-year institutions. In addition, we have established relationships with high school programs and other partners. The campus-wide Articulation Work Group facilitates such partnerships to ensure proper academic preparation and planning and transfer students’ seamless transition to UMBC. Additionally, in accordance with COMAR regulations new or revised program proposals must be accompanied with at least one articulation agreement. For more information visit the New Academic Program Approval Guidelines.
Departments interested in participating in articulation agreement development should initiate a request with their respective Dean’s Office. Requests approved by the Dean’s Office should then be submitted through this form. Need help submitting a proposal? Are you from a partner institution wanting to know how to develop an articulation agreement with UMBC? Contact Dale Bittinger (bittinge@umbc.edu).
