Transfer and Articulation Agreements
Cleveland State works diligently to ensure that our course credits transfer seamlessly with four-year colleges. The result of these efforts to allow you to transfer your credits is called an “articulation agreement” between CSCC and a four-year institution. These agreements are signed “contracts” with other schools that reflect the hard work of our faculty to pave the way for your educational success. One set of these agreements are the Tennessee Transfer Pathways through which CSCC students follow a clear academic plan beginning at CSCC on to all public and many private institutions in the state. The link below will take you to more information about those pathways.
Tennessee Transfer Pathways (includes these Four-Year Colleges/University: Austin Peay State University, Baptist College of Health Sciences, Bethel University, Carson-Newman University, Christian Brothers University, Cumberland University, East Tennessee State University, Freed-Hardeman University, Lane College, Lee University, Lincoln Memorial University, Lipscomb University, Martin Methodist College, Maryville College, Middle Tennessee State University, Milligan College, Tennessee State University, Tennessee Tech University, Tennessee Wesleyan College, Trevecca Nazarene University, Tusculum College, Union University, University of Memphis, University of Tennessee- Chattanooga, University of Tennessee- Knoxville, University of Tennessee- Martin, and Watkins College of Art, Design & Film)
