All transfer students are encouraged to complete courses equivalent to those listed in that summary. Students transferring from Alabama two-year colleges should follow the general studies curriculum approved by the Articulation and General Studies Committee (AGSC). A copy of this curriculum is available in the UAH Office of Admissions. Articulation requirements, as they relate to the nursing major, are provided below:
