What is an Articulation Agreement?
An articulation
agreement is a partnership between schools for completion of a
four-year degree. The articulation agreements allow graduates of
selected two-year technical programs to transfer credits much more
readily into certain majors at UNI in the Department of Industrial
Technology. Students can expect to transfer between 48 and 65
semester hours of credit, about half the number required for a
four-year degree.
How
does an Articulation Agreement work?
Articulation Agreements are developed by both individuals from the
Iowa Community Colleges and from the Department of Industrial
Technology at the University of Northern Iowa. Select programs are
reviewed and if it looks to be a good match than an articulation
agreement is created.
What do I do if there is not an articulation agreement
for my program at the community college?
If there is no articulation agreement with UNI-Department of
Industrial Technology then your courses will be evaluated on a course
by course basis. Advisors in the department will read course
descriptions from the community college and see if it matches up with
any of the Industrial Technology courses at UNI. If there are courses
that are deemed similar in both content and credit hours then credit
will be given.
Technology Management
The Bachelor of Arts degree in Technology Management
provides a broad background in technology as well as the management
associated with harnessing the human, material, and information
resources necessary for organizations to be successful. This is an
excellent background for a wide variety of positions in business and
industry.
Manufacturing Technology**
The Bachelor of Science in Manufacturing provides
theoretical and hands-on experience in the field of manufacturing to
prepare management-oriented technical professionals for careers in
manufacturing. There are three emphasis areas: Automation and
Production, Design, and Metal Casting.
Graphic Communications**
The Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Communications
provides the technology of communicating visually by placing an image
on a surface. It involves the study of technology required to produce
the millions of printed products used in all aspects of our lives.
Beyond the technical details of graphic communications, the program
includes elements of management and supervision necessary to
successfully operate business enterprises.
Electrical and Information Engineering
Technology**
The Bachelor of Science Degree in EIET provides
quality, hands-on, application-oriented education that produces
professionals who will contribute to the advancement of engineering
technology in the areas of electrical power, analog/digital
electronics, industrial control systems, microcomputers,
instrumentation, telecommunication and networking. The mechanical,
hydraulic, and pneumatic systems controls are also covered in this
program. The program begins with a base of introductory classes in
math, engineering physics, statistics, and computer programming and
continues on into practical applications of EIET in industrial
settings. In addition to advanced level technical classes with
computer simulations, the program is strongly hands-on oriented and
includes numerous labs and project experiences.
** Transferring into this major may require an
extra semester beyond the four-year degree requirements
Technology Management,
Manufacturing Technology, and Graphic Communications are all
accredited by the National Association
of Industrial Technology (NAIT).
