Additional Information:
1. In completing this coordinated program of study for this articulation agreement, course substitutions should be
made with the guidance of the advisors (indicated below) at both institutions to assure that all requirements are
satisfied. Each institution will determine the satisfaction of their individual program and degree requirements.
Owens courses indicated with an * are required for EMU’s Elementary Education Program.
2. Although this agreement includes EMU’s general education requirements, students whose transcripts are endorsed
as “Ohio Transfer Module Satisfied” will only be required to satisfy three of EMU’s general education
requirements listed below.
a) An approved course in Quantitative Reasoning: [MTH 218 at Owens] or [MATH 110E at EMU]
b) An approved course in Global Awareness or U.S Diversity: [GPH 106 at Owens] or [GEOG 110 at EMU]
c) An approved Learning beyond the Classroom course or experience offered by EMU: [EDUC 492 at EMU]
Completing the Transfer Module does not exempt students from satisfying major or program requirements, many
of which are included in the general education section of this guide. Under this agreement General Education
requirements may be completed at the most appropriate time for the student whether before or after admission to
EMU. The Transfer Module may be completed after admission to EMU, however, students should inform advisors
at EMU if they intend to complete the OTM or they will be advised to complete EMU’s general education program.
3. Only courses with a grade of “2.0” or better on a “4.0” scale will be accepted for transfer to EMU.
4. A minimum of 60 semester hours must be completed at the four-year college/university level. At least 9 hours in
the major and 6 hours in the minor at the 300- level or higher must be completed at EMU. Of the last 30 semester
hours prior to graduation, at least 10 hours must be completed in courses offered by EMU. A minimum of 124
credit hours, completed in-residence or accepted in transfer, is required for graduation.
5. Students with a community college grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 or higher, who have completed at least 56
transferable credits, and have passed the Professional Readiness Examination, may apply directly to the Teacher
Preparation Program. Students who do not meet these requirements must complete at least 12 credits at EMU to
establish an EMU (GPA) of 2.5 and a GPA of 2.5 in the major. Other admission criteria include: satisfactory health
status, satisfactory social and emotional adjustment, submission of an autobiography, and freedom from any kind
of probation.
6. Students are encouraged to attend an EMU Elementary Education group advising session and an individual
advising session with the EMU Teacher Education Department faculty before applying for admission to EMU. To
facilitate the evaluation of transcripts, students should indicate they are using this articulation guide on their
application and bring a copy of the articulation guide to all advising sessions at EMU.
Effective Date: May 1, 2013 until April 30, 2016
This is a renewal of an agreement made in September 2009. If this agreement is not renewed at the end of the
effective period, students who already began the program at Owens will have an additional three years to be admitted to
EMU under the terms of the agreement. Students who began the program prior to the effective date may use this
agreement.
