MSU Billings has a number of articulation agreements with other public and private institutions. These agreements make it possible for students to plan a program of study that begins at a two-year college and leads to a four-year degree from MSU Billings. These agreements are designed to maximize the number of credits students will be able to transfer and to minimize students’ time to degree. Articulation agreements are made with specific programs. Areas of concern such as admissions, financial aid, course requirements, and contact information are clearly discussed.

Each agreement specifies how coursework in the associate degree program applies to the baccalaureate degree program at MSU Billings. Each agreement outlines the appropriate and recommended courses to complete at the two-year college and also specifies courses that must be taken at MSU Billings to complete the program. 

Students interested in attending MSU Billings and utilizing an articulation agreement are encouraged to indicate their interest in one of the articulation agreements to an academic advisor prior to or during their first term in attendance.
