Although the IAI is expected to facilitate student transfer statewide, there continue to be valid reasons for inter-institutional articulation tools and such as 2+2, course articulations, and transfer guides:

• First, the IAI will not articulate every possible baccalaureate major, but only those that are most commonly chosen by students and those that are offered by a sizable number of institutions.
• Further, 2+2 agreements are especially useful in those technical and professional fields in which education level parallels career advancement-generally, fields in which students gain technical skill competence first and then the broadening perspectives gained from general education.
• Also, 2+2 agreements and transfer guides can facilitate transfer between different but complementary programs, such as health care provider and management.
• Also, course by course articulations can be helpful to reverse transfers.
• Finally, because these agreements are between only two institutions, it can be much more detailed than the more general IAI statewide agreements.
