Articulation Agreements – USD
CONTROLLING STATUTE, RULE, OR POLICY
BOR Policy 2:27 – Program to Program Articulation Agreements
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
BOR Policy 2:27 Program to Program Articulation Agreements establishes requirements
for institutions seeking to develop program level agreements for interested transfer
students. The policy further establishes the distinction between AA, AS, and AAS degrees
which are classified as transferable, terminal, or non-transferable degrees (respectively).
However, the AAS is “transferable when a specific degree articulation agreement exists
between a given A.A.S. degree and a specific Baccalaureate degree.” Agreements
established with regionally accredited institutions must be developed in conjunction with
the faculty, following all institutional guidelines and are monitored as a function of the
institutional program review process. Once approved, the agreements apply only at
Regental institutions with equivalent programs.
IMPACT AND RECOMMENDATION
To comply with BOR Policy 2:27, the University of South Dakota requests approval for
the following articulation agreement:
Students who have completed coursework in the Associate of Arts degree in Music
at Northeast Community College (NECC) can apply credit toward the Bachelor of
Musical Arts degree at USD.
Students who have completed coursework in the Associate of Arts degree in Music
Education at Northeast Community College (NECC) can apply credit toward the
Bachelor of Music with a specialization in Music Education degree at USD.
Students who have completed coursework in the Associate of Arts degree in Music
Performance at Northeast Community College (NECC) can apply credit toward the
Bachelor of Music with a specialization in Performance degree at USD.

University of South Dakota during the first two years of their education. While
completing the required USD credit hours (71), the student will apply for admission
to the Sanford Medical Center School of Radiologic Technology. This is a competitive
process and admission is not guaranteed. Students who are granted admission will
enter the radiologic technology program at Sanford (Sioux Falls) at the beginning of
their third year and complete the requirements of the radiologic technology program
at the end of the fourth year.

Program at Sanford and transferring to USD to complete the Bachelor of Science in
Health Sciences).
A. Upon successful completion of the requirements of the radiologic technology
program, students may transfer to USD to complete the BS in Health Sciences. At
that time, USD will accept a block of up to 49 radiologic technology course credits
from the radiologic technology program. Students must successfully complete the
radiologic technology program at Sanford prior to transferring to USD for the
technical course credits to be accepted.
