College Student Access: How Articulation Agreements Support Rural Students
Jaeger, Audrey J.; Dunstan, Stephany Brett; Dixon, Karrie Gibson
Peabody Journal of Education, v90 n5 p615-635 2015

Community colleges offer hope to achieve a college degree for many rural students, and well-developed articulation agreements can be one way of improving access for these students.
