EACC has entered into a number of articulation agreements with four-year colleges and universities for students who wish to take the first two years of a four-year program. These agreements give detailed information about specific requirements for the particular degree program and what credits are accepted. Students who plan to transfer should begin working with an EACC advisor as soon as possible to determine where they will transfer and what their major will be in order to design a degree plan that will maximize transfer hours.
Statewide Articulation
The Associate of Science in Business is designed for students wishing to transfer into a bachelor’s degree program in business. At least a 2.25 grade point average is required. The majority of occupational courses and all general education courses in this degree are considered transferable toward a baccalaureate degree. A statewide transfer agreement exists between East Arkansas Community College and the following four-year institutions to assist students in transferring into a bachelor’s degree program in business:
Arkansas State University – Jonesboro
Arkansas Tech University
Henderson State University
Southern Arkansas University – Magnolia
University of Arkansas – Fort Smith
University of Arkansas at Little Rock
University of Arkansas at Monticello
University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff
University of Central Arkansas
A degree plan for the Associate of Science in Business may be found in the EACC College Catalog, which may be accessed here.
Transferability of Courses – General Education Core Curricula Requirements
The Arkansas Higher Education Coordinating Board has established a minimum of 35 semester credit hours of general education courses that must be successfully completed in order to receive an Associate of Arts, Associate of Science, or Baccalaureate degree.
