BOR Policy 2:27 – Program to Program Articulation Agreements
BOR Policy 5:3 – Agreements and Contracts
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
South Dakota State University (SDSU) is requesting approval to enter into an agreement
with the Presentation College (PC) to establish an articulated dual degree program that
upon a student’s successful completion in its entirety will result in a Bachelor of Science
(BS) in Interdisciplinary Studies from PC and a Master of Science in Athletic Training
(MSAT) from SDSU (see Attachment I).
IMPACT AND RECOMMENDATION
The 3+2 agreement allows students to complete 3 years of course requirements at PC and
then transfer to SDSU for the 2-year Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT).
SDSU agrees that any student who has successfully completed the prerequisite courses at
the prescribed GPA, as outlined in the articulation guide, may enter the MSAT program at
SDSU. Students who follow this articulation program agreement must apply and be
admitted to the SDSU MSAT program.
Participating students will pay tuition and fees directly to PC while enrolled in courses
there. Upon acceptance to the program at SDSU, the enrolled student will pay tuition and
fees directly to SDSU for the remaining semesters of the program.
Board staff recommends approval.

Between
PRESENTATION COLLEGE And
SOUTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY
I. General Overview
Presentation College (PC) in Aberdeen, South Dakota and South Dakota State University (SDSU) in Brookings, South Dakota, enter into this articulation agreement on July 1, 2020.
This dual degree program agreement is designed for applicants who have completed the
prerequisite courses for the Master of Science in Athletic Training Program at South Dakota State University and will be obtaining a Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary
Studies from Presentation College.
The 3+2 agreement allows students to complete 3 years of course requirements at PC and then
transfer to SDSU for the 2-year Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT). SDSU agrees that any student who has successfully completed the prerequisite courses at the prescribed GPA, as
outlined on the attached articulation guide, may enter the MSAT program at SDSU. Students who follow this articulation program agreement must apply and be admitted to the SDSU MSAT
program.
PC and SDSU agree that students who seek to matriculate into the MSAT program at SDSU from PC should be provided a smooth curriculum transition that eliminates loss of credit or duplication
of coursework.
The appendices provide an articulation guide, admission requirements, and curriculum guide with
pre-requisite coursework.
II. Services Performed by each Party
MUTAL SERVICES
A. Both parties agree to cooperate in communicating with each other and with their common and respective publics concerning the established relationship between the two
institutions. B. Both parties agree to cooperatively conduct an annual program review, collaborate on
continued management improvement and communicate any program changes as needed.
C. Both parties enter into this agreement as cooperating, equal partners who retain a
responsibility to maintain the integrity of their separate programs.
PRESENTATION COLLEGE
A. PC agrees to offer major and general education courses necessary for the above-
mentioned programs to qualified students.
B. PC agrees to promote SDSU articulated programs to eligible students and provide academic advising to current and prospective students.
C. PC agrees to provide SDSU with directory information of eligible PC students.
D. PC agrees to articulate SDSU credits toward the baccalaureate degree. Appendix A
outlines the degree completion course requirements for the eligible students seeking these programs.
ATTACHMENT I 2
SOUTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY
A. SDSU agrees to provide student services in keeping with its policies and practices necessary to support the courses and programs delivered.
B. SDSU agrees to conduct assessment, in keeping with PC’s assessment program, of the
students participating in this articulation agreement and share the data with appropriate
PC officials upon request. C. SDSU agrees to provide PC students that meet the guidelines pre-acceptance into the
MSAT program.
D. SDSU agrees to provide PC students equitable consideration in program acceptance
processes.
III. Period of Agreement and Renewal
The articulation agreement will begin on July 1, 2020, with courses beginning August 2020 and
will be automatically renewed yearly unless a six month or mutually negotiated notice of termination from either party is received. If either party decides not to renew the agreement,
students who started the articulated program prior to termination of the agreement will be given two additional years to be admitted to SDSU under terms of this agreement. An evaluation will
be conducted yearly at the time that assessment data is shared.
Students who matriculated and who are progressing through the 3+2 Athletic Training Education
Program prior to the effective date of this agreement may use the agreement to the extent that the program requirements followed are consistent with this agreement.
IV. Conditions of Review
An administrator or faculty member of each institution will review the agreement each year at the time that assessment data is shared. These individuals will be responsible for communicating any
changes to respective faculty members, advisors, counselors, and others as needed.
V. Termination Provisions
Either party may opt to terminate the articulation agreement with a six month or mutually
negotiated notice. Regardless, PC students previously accepted to an SDSU 3+2 program have
the right to complete their intended program.
VI. Grievance Procedure
PC’s grievance procedure will apply for grievance situations for students prior to acceptance into the MSAT program. Once the student begins coursework at SDSU with the MSAT program, the
student is subject to SDSU’s grievance policies.
VII. Financial Arrangements
The articulation agreement applies to PC students in a designated 3+2 curriculum at PC. Once
students articulate and are accepted to SDSU and to the applicable program, SDSU’s tuition and fee structure will apply. Some students may be eligible for financial aid, and any aid would be
processed through SDSU for the MSAT program. Each organization will be responsible for mechanisms to account for sound budgets and federal financial aid approvals, policies, and
practices.
ATTACHMENT I 3
VIII. Faculty
PC’s and SDSU’s faculty, program directors, and/or dean have the responsibility to review and
approve the course content of their programs. Jointly, PC and SDSU will ensure that faculty teaching courses have the necessary credentials to meet accreditation requirements.
IX. Oversight
The articulation agreement ensures that each organization has a systematic process to assure its capacity to carry out its responsibility for oversight of advertising, recruitment, admissions, the
appointment of faculty, content, and rigor of their component of the programs, evaluation of student work, and award of credits and degrees.

Appendix A: Articulation Guide
The 3+2 Athletic Training program leads to a Bachelor of Science degree in Interdisciplinary Studies from Presentation College (PC) and the Master of Science in Athletic Training degree from South Dakota State
University (SDSU). A student spends the first three years at PC and the final two years at SDSU.
Requirements:
1. Students must complete the Interdisciplinary Studies option at PC and the prerequisite courses
for the MSAT program at SDSU, as indicated in the curriculum and this articulation guide. Course substitutions are seldom permissible and can only be made upon mutual agreement by the
Program Director of the SDSU Master of Science in Athletic Training program and the Dean of
Health and Natural Science at PC (or their respective designees).
2. Students from PC entering the MSAT program at SDSU must follow the SDSU’s MSAT application guidelines and deadlines.
3. Students from PC entering the MSAT program at SDSU must have a minimum cumulative GPA of
3.0 on a 4.0 scale.
4. Students from PC entering the MSAT program at SDSU must have completed all the pre-requisite
courses as outlined in the curriculum.
5. Students from PC who have been admitted and successfully completed the first year (summer,
fall and spring semesters) of the MSAT program at SDSU would then be eligible to apply for graduation from PC with a bachelor’s of science degree in Interdisciplinary Studies.
6. Students from PC who have been admitted and successfully completed all requirements of the
MSAT program at SDSU would be eligible to apply for graduation from SDSU with a master’s of science degree in athletic training and would be eligible to sit for the Board of Certification exam.
7. The transfer of credits will follow both institutional (PC and SDSU) and accreditation guidelines and recommendations.
