What is a 2+2 Articulation Agreement?

Some of the additional benefits of a 2+2 articulation agreement for Hocking College students include:
- Saving money by first attending a community college before transferring to a 4-year school.
- Students won’t need to seek out, or apply to, a variety of other 4-year schools to further their education.
- Students won’t be required to relocate to another city or state to pursue their bachelor’s degree.
- Each student’s degree path will be clearly defined for them.
- Hocking College, University of Cincinnati and Ohio University will all work together to make sure each student’s credits are transferable.
- Non-traditional students at Hocking College will have a more flexible route towards obtaining a bachelor’s degree.
