Start Here, Go Far!
At Pierpont Community & Technical College, we’re passionate about helping students build real skills and real futures. Our 2+2 articulation agreements offer a clear, affordable, and supportive path to a bachelor’s degree, starting with an associate degree at Pierpont and transferring seamlessly to a four-year institution.
What are Articulation Agreements
An articulation agreement is a formal partnership between Pierpont and other colleges or universities. It guarantees that your associate degree credits will transfer directly into a bachelor’s degree program, saving you time, money, and uncertainty.
While earning an Associate’s degree at Pierpont, there are many resources available for a successful transfer to a four-year institution. Pierpont participates in the West Virginia Core Coursework Transfer Articulation agreement that maps out courses from Pierpont that transfer to four-year institutions in West Virginia. (NOTE: All in-state articulation agreements listed are program-specific)
