Articulation

Articulation agreements are formal agreements between CSU Bakersfield and another post-secondary educational institution. They define how courses completed at another college or university can be transferred to satisfy a requirement at CSUB. CSUB has articulation agreements with California Community Colleges, CSUs, UCs, and numerous private college institutions.
