PDF: 2009 Transfer articulation report
A statewide higher education committee tasked with improving students’ ability to transfer from two-year to four-year schools has agreed on common curriculum for majors affecting 75 percent of transfer students.
But University of Tennessee system interim President Jan Simek said hammering out agreements between Board of Regents and UT schools on common classes in remaining majors will be more challenging, if not impossible.
“Down the line it will be harder, but there will be fewer students involved,” said Simek, who updated the Tennessee Higher Education Commission on the committee’s activity last week. “There will be some places we can’t reconcile.”
Creating a more seamless transition from community colleges to universities was a large part of higher education reform legislation approved earlier this year.
