Articulation AgreementsArticulation Agreement between PENNSYLVANIA HIGHLANDS COMMUNITY COLLEGE and THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY,
on the Bachelor of Arts in English
The Pennsylvania State University (PSU) through the Altoona College
(PSAC) and Pennsylvania Highlands Community College (PHCC) sets forth
the
condition upon which PSU will consider graduates of the Associate of
Arts
in Liberal Arts (AALA) program at PHCC for admission into the Bachelor
of Arts in English at Penn State Altoona. This document sets
forth
those conditions which the parties hereby agree to.
A. Rationale for the articulation agreement This agreement applies only to the AALA program that is currently
constituted
and delivered at PHCC as of the 2004-05 academic year. PHCC is
a relatively new community college located in the service area of Penn
State Altoona. The purpose of this agreement is to facilitate the
transition of Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts graduates to the
Bachelor
of Arts in English program at Penn State Altoona.
B. Description of how the agreement may be renewed or terminated 1. PHCC agrees to promptly notify Penn State Altoona (PSAC) upon any substantive modification to the curriculum of the AALA program, and further agrees that the terms of this agreement will no longer hold unless PSU provides a written approval that the curricular changes do not alter the intent of this agreement. 2. PSAC agrees to provide PHCC with information about the B.A. in English program of study and any changes to the curriculum, should they occur. Conditions for admission into the B.A. in English program are stipulated in Section D of this document. 3. PHCC and PSAC agree to review the terms, conditions, and effects of this agreement every five years. 4. The terms of this agreement shall remain in effect, except as stipulated in certain previous terms listed herein, until terminated by either party. Any party may terminate the agreement with or without cause, on the provision of 120 days written notice to the other parties. C. Estimate of the number of students transferring to Penn State annually. Initially, 5 students annually are expected to transfer to Penn
State.
D. Admission requirement and transfer of academic credits 1. PSU agrees that graduates of the AALA program at PHCC meet the
admission
standards of the B.A. in English at Penn State Altoona, if they satisfy
the following conditions:
a. Applicants with at least of 2.0 Grade Point Average are eligible for admission into the B.A. in English c. The following PHCC courses will fulfill General Education or Bachelor of Arts requirements towards the B.A. in English in the categories listed below. While other courses may be taken, they will only transfer as general credits and must be petitioned at PSU to be useful in a degree program.Courses in the AALA Curriculum Writing and Speaking (GWS-9 credits)

(1) HUM 100 (Introduction to Humanities, 3 cr.), and HUM 115 (Introduction to the Liberal Arts, 1 (2) PHYS 100 (Applied Physic, 3 cr.) and PHYS 101 (Applied Physics Laboratory, 1 cr.) are f. Students must meet PSU’s conduct standards in regard to known behavioral problems. E. Advising and special services at both the non-Penn State location and Penn State Altoona. Penn State Altoona agrees to provide advising information to PHCC about the B.A. in English and other baccalaureate degree programs, and will provide representatives to visit the campuses of PHCC for recruitment activities. Pennsylvania Highlands Community College agrees to supply addresses
or
address labels for each year’s graduates of the associate degree
program
in Liberal Arts to aid in the recruitment of students to Penn State
Altoona.
Address labels should be sent to, Admissions and Enrollment Services,
Penn
State Altoona, 3000 Ivyside Park, Altoona, PA 16601.
F. Impact of the agreement, if any on other programs, colleges, or campuses of the University, including evidence of consultation with Penn State. This program is designed to facilitate the transfer of associate degree graduates in Liberal Arts from PHCC to Penn State Altoona. Cambria County is part of Penn State Altoona’s service area, so the impact on other programs, colleges, or campuses of the Pennsylvania State University is expected to be minimal, if any. However, other Penn State campuses and colleges have the opportunity to adhere to this agreement as it applies to PHCC’s AALA graduates and PSU English programs. This agreement constitutes the entire agreement and terms of understanding among the parties named herein and supersedes any prior agreements or understandings among the parties. See attached correspondence as evidence of consultation within Penn
State.
