Articulation/transfer agreements
Successful completion of an Associate of Arts (AA) degree at any Iowa, Illinois or Minnesota Community College allows students to transfer with junior level status, having met all first-year and sophomore level general education requirements for programs in the Iowa State University College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.* With the variation of AA requirements across the states, careful planning with an academic advisor is strongly recommended in order to fulfill requirements. In some cases an AS degree may be more desirable.
*Liberal Arts and Sciences programs will require specific numbers of credits in humanities and in natural sciences (work with your ISU admissions counselor for details)
