A key component of the Career Pathways/Tech Prep is
program articulation. The term “articulation” refers to the planned process of
linking two or more educational systems. The goal is to assist students in
making a smooth transition from one level of education to another without
causing delays, duplication in learning, or loss of credits.
High schools, community colleges, or other educational institutions, and
employers, work together to develop career paths from one institution to another
to avoid duplication of coursework and to provide a smooth sequence of classes
from one level to the other.
An articulation agreement is a signed document that indicates the specific
responsibilities and competencies that the secondary school, the postsecondary
institution, and the student must accomplish to receive FREE college credit for
the program they are taking in high school or technical school.
Within articulated Career Pathways/Tech Prep programs are articulated courses,
high school or technical school courses that contain the same course content as
an equivalent college course, and for which a postsecondary institution has
agreed to award FREE college credit if the student meets requirements outlined
in the course articulation agreement.
