General Education Guide
A general education equivalency guide is a resource that helps students understand which courses a their current or previous institution will fulfill OHIO's general education requirements. Following the general education guide ensures students are prepared to enroll in major coursework sooner after they transfer.
-
Articulation Agreement
An articulation agreement is an official agreement between OHIO and another college or university that lays out specific transfer plans based on course offerings available at each school.
-
Program Pathway
A program pathway serves as an unofficial plan of coursework that can be completed to satisfy degree requirements. Program pathways help students ensure smooth transfer from one specific program to another based on the requirements for admission and transfer credit policies at Ohio University.
-
Ohio Guaranteed Transfer Pathways
The Ohio Guaranteed Transfer Pathways (OGTP) provide a clear path to associate degree completion and then to bachelor’s degree completion in a related major. These transfer pathways are agreed upon between Ohio public community colleges and four-year institutions. By following an OGTP, you can ensure that you are taking coursework that will not only transfer but apply to your desired degree.
