Academic Partnerships

Academic Partnerships oversee domestic articulated degree pathways with partnering institutions and curricular compliance with Ohio Department of Higher Education transfer initiatives.

• Degree Pathways provide semester-by-semester sequences with partnering institution programs, helping students transfer their college-level coursework efficiently. Find all degree pathways here.
• The Ohio Guaranteed Transfer Pathways (OGTPs) provide a clearer path to degree completion for students pursuing an associate degree at an Ohio public community college who plan to transfer to an Ohio public university to complete their bachelor’s degree. Find all OGTPs here.
