College Student Access: How Articulation Agreements Support Rural Students

Abstract

Students from rural areas face additional burdens, such as affordability, academic preparation, and lack of college-going resources that make seeking, enrolling, and attending college more difficult. Community colleges offer hope to achieve a college degree for many rural students, and well-developed articulation agreements can be one way of improving access for these students.

Notes

A small number of campuses have moved to competency-based learning for general education courses.
