BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION

South Dakota State University (SDSU) is requesting approval to enter into an agreement

with the Presentation College (PC) to establish an articulated dual degree program that

upon a student’s successful completion in its entirety will result in a Bachelor of Science

(BS) in Interdisciplinary Studies from PC and a Master of Science in Athletic Training

(MSAT) from SDSU (see Attachment I).

IMPACT AND RECOMMENDATION

The 3+2 agreement allows students to complete 3 years of course requirements at PC and

then transfer to SDSU for the 2-year Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT).

SDSU agrees that any student who has successfully completed the prerequisite courses at

the prescribed GPA, as outlined in the articulation guide, may enter the MSAT program at

SDSU. Students who follow this articulation program agreement must apply and be

admitted to the SDSU MSAT program.

Participating students will pay tuition and fees directly to PC while enrolled in courses

there. Upon acceptance to the program at SDSU, the enrolled student will pay tuition and

fees directly to SDSU for the remaining semesters of the program.

Board staff recommends approval.

Between

PRESENTATION COLLEGE And

SOUTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY

I. General Overview

Presentation College (PC) in Aberdeen, South Dakota and South Dakota State University (SDSU) in Brookings, South Dakota, enter into this articulation agreement on July 1, 2020.

This dual degree program agreement is designed for applicants who have completed the

prerequisite courses for the Master of Science in Athletic Training Program at South Dakota State University and will be obtaining a Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary

Studies from Presentation College.

The 3+2 agreement allows students to complete 3 years of course requirements at PC and then

transfer to SDSU for the 2-year Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT). SDSU agrees that any student who has successfully completed the prerequisite courses at the prescribed GPA, as

outlined on the attached articulation guide, may enter the MSAT program at SDSU. Students who follow this articulation program agreement must apply and be admitted to the SDSU MSAT

program.

PC and SDSU agree that students who seek to matriculate into the MSAT program at SDSU from PC should be provided a smooth curriculum transition that eliminates loss of credit or duplication

of coursework.

The appendices provide an articulation guide, admission requirements, and curriculum guide with

pre-requisite coursework.

II. Services Performed by each Party

ATTACHMENT I 2

SOUTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY

A. SDSU agrees to provide student services in keeping with its policies and practices necessary to support the courses and programs delivered.

B. SDSU agrees to conduct assessment, in keeping with PC’s assessment program, of the

students participating in this articulation agreement and share the data with appropriate

PC officials upon request. C. SDSU agrees to provide PC students that meet the guidelines pre-acceptance into the

MSAT program.

D. SDSU agrees to provide PC students equitable consideration in program acceptance

processes.

III. Period of Agreement and Renewal

The articulation agreement will begin on July 1, 2020, with courses beginning August 2020 and

will be automatically renewed yearly unless a six month or mutually negotiated notice of termination from either party is received. If either party decides not to renew the agreement,

students who started the articulated program prior to termination of the agreement will be given two additional years to be admitted to SDSU under terms of this agreement. An evaluation will

be conducted yearly at the time that assessment data is shared.

Students who matriculated and who are progressing through the 3+2 Athletic Training Education

Program prior to the effective date of this agreement may use the agreement to the extent that the program requirements followed are consistent with this agreement.

IV. Conditions of Review

An administrator or faculty member of each institution will review the agreement each year at the time that assessment data is shared. These individuals will be responsible for communicating any

changes to respective faculty members, advisors, counselors, and others as needed.

V. Termination Provisions

Either party may opt to terminate the articulation agreement with a six month or mutually

negotiated notice. Regardless, PC students previously accepted to an SDSU 3+2 program have

the right to complete their intended program.

VI. Grievance Procedure

PC’s grievance procedure will apply for grievance situations for students prior to acceptance into the MSAT program. Once the student begins coursework at SDSU with the MSAT program, the

student is subject to SDSU’s grievance policies.

VII. Financial Arrangements

The articulation agreement applies to PC students in a designated 3+2 curriculum at PC. Once

students articulate and are accepted to SDSU and to the applicable program, SDSU’s tuition and fee structure will apply. Some students may be eligible for financial aid, and any aid would be

processed through SDSU for the MSAT program. Each organization will be responsible for mechanisms to account for sound budgets and federal financial aid approvals, policies, and

practices.

ATTACHMENT I 3

VIII. Faculty

PC’s and SDSU’s faculty, program directors, and/or dean have the responsibility to review and

approve the course content of their programs. Jointly, PC and SDSU will ensure that faculty teaching courses have the necessary credentials to meet accreditation requirements.

IX. Oversight

The articulation agreement ensures that each organization has a systematic process to assure its capacity to carry out its responsibility for oversight of advertising, recruitment, admissions, the

appointment of faculty, content, and rigor of their component of the programs, evaluation of student work, and award of credits and degrees.
