Articulations

Secondary (High School) Articulations

Students may seek award of credit received from a secondary institution that has in place a current Articulation Agreement or Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Manhattan Area Technical College in the students’ intended program of study.

Articulated credit refers to credit earned from a secondary (high school) course that directly corresponds to a course within a program of study that leads to attainment of a technical skill proficiency, industry-recognized credential, certificate, or associate of applied science degree. Students seeking transfer of credit or award of articulated credit must meet the same admissions requirements as all Manhattan Area Technical College students. 

Students are encouraged to speak with their high school counselor to see what opportunities are available at their school. High Schools may inquire about new potential Articulation Agreements by sending an email to outreach@manhattantech.edu. 

Transcription by Manhattan Area Technical College of credit from another institution will require the student to:

• Have an official transcript from the secondary institution or institution of higher education on file with MATC (student-issued transcripts are not acceptable); 
• Have a C or higher in all classes being considered for transfer or award of credit;

Students must meet all qualifying requirements of the Articulation Agreement/Memorandum of Understanding. Additionally, the student will need to send an official high school transcript, be degree seeking within the program they are requesting the articulated credit to be awarded, and with the assistance of their advisor fill out the Transfer/Articulation form and turn this form into the Registrar's Office.

Post-Secondary (College/University) Articulations

Students may seek award of credit received from a post-secondary institution that has in place a current Articulation Agreement or Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Manhattan Area Technical College in the students’ intended program of study.

An articulation agreement is a formal arrangement to transfer a defined set of academic credits between an academic program of one institution, most often a two-year post-secondary institution, to baccalaureate degree granting college or university.
