Program Articulations

Indiana State University has partnered with two-year institutions within Indiana and the surrounding area in Illinois to formalize the transfer of credit for particular majors. If you are currently working toward the completion of an A.A., A.S., or A.A.S. or if you have already earned your associate degree, you may be able to benefit from these agreements. Please select the appropriate school for further information.

Program articulations may be initiated at Indiana State or by our partner institutions.  All program articulations follow the same set of procedures and a template for the articulations.

Course Transfer

Transfer Central at Indiana State University evaluates how your credits translate to credit at ISU. 

Log in to ISU CAS for up to the minute course equivalencies from ISU to other Colleges and Universities.  Note: Some Indiana and Illinois schools have been completed in CAS.
Other Universities will be added as the transfer rules are
 completed.  Check back soon or contact Joe Taylor at wtaylor3@isugw.indstate.edu if you have any questions about course equivalencies from a school not listed in CAS.
