What
is Articulation?
Articulation is a planned process that links two or more educational
institutions together to facilitate a smooth transition for
students to move from one course, program, or educational level
to the next, while minimizing or eliminating course repetition.
In the Tech Prep program, articulation plays an integral role
in this transition for students in high schools and ROP programs.
It provides students with an opportunity to earn credit for
high school/ROP courses that are deemed equivalent to those
at Rio Hondo College.
In
this program, the 2+2 articulation model is utilized. This
includes the final two years in high school and the first
two years in college.
How
are Articulation Agreements Made?
Articulation agreements are created as a result of partnerships
among Rio Hondo College (RHC) and local high schools and ROP
programs. Together, faculty from RHC and these institutions
examine course curriculum of their respective disciplines
and determine that select courses are equivalent in content.
A formal agreement is written that identifies the equivalency
among these courses. These agreements are reviewed on a yearly
basis. As of 2001, articulation agreements have been made
for courses in areas such as automotive technology, administration
of justice, business, graphic design, and early childhood
education.
