Job Description

The Transfer Credit and Articulation Analyst is responsible for developing, maintaining and executing articulation and transfer credit equivalencies for the Ohio University campus system. The Transfer Credit and Articulation Analyst works under the direction of the Associate Director for Transfer Credit and Articulation Management and in collaboration with colleagues in the Undergraduate Admissions team to collaboratively execute institutional strategic initiatives and ensure compliance in statewide policies and initiatives. This position will work closely with faculty and academic affairs staff to develop proficiency in college academic requirements and to support development of articulations that align with OHIO degree plans.
