Central State, Cincinnati State form academic partnerships
June 26, 2009
Administrators from Central State University and Cincinnati State Technical and Community College will sign an articulation agreement next week designed to create a smooth transition for students from the two-year institution to the four-year university.
The signing ceremony will be held at 1 p.m. Tuesday, June 30 in the President’s Dining Room (Room 236) in the Advanced Technology & Learning Center at Cincinnati State’s Clifton campus.
The articulation agreements, as they are commonly termed in academia, mean that qualified students who graduate from Cincinnati State with an associate’s degree will have a smooth pathway if they enroll in specific baccalaureate degree programs at Central State University. The agreement supports Central State University's Speed to Scale initiative, which included the creation of partnerships among local and regional universities.
The agreements involve several of Central State’s key programs:
• Mechanical Engineering
• Industrial Technology
•Water Resources Management
•Environmental Engineering
Students must have taken specific Cincinnati State courses that correlate with required courses for the respective bachelor's degree programs at Central State.
The articulation agreements are similar conceptually to those that Cincinnati State has negotiated in recent years with the University of Cincinnati, Wilmington College, Franklin University and other four-year institutions.

Garland, to sign a series of articulation agreements between the two institutions. The ceremony was held at the Advanced Technology & Learning Center at Cincinnati State. Both presidents praised the work of their faculty and staff members which produced the agreements. They will make it easier for Cincinnati State graduates to pursue baccalaureate degrees in certain programs at Central State.
