NIACC and UNI have agreed to address the above needs by leveraging the resources
of each institution to resolve, as best as possible, the transfer problem and
increase the number of technically trained teachers for K-12 positions. The
attached articulation agreement addresses the transfer needs for:
UNI will articulate 65 credits of the AA degree toward their 130 credit hour
teaching degree in technology education. We will, therefore, offer the first
two years of a technology education degree at NIACC.
B) Associate of Applied Science (AAS) graduates in five technology
related fields:
1) Automotive Service Technology
UNI will articulate 34 NIACC credits toward their technology education degree
program. (In the past--without the articulation agreement--UNI accepted only
16 elective credits toward the technology education degree.)
2) Climate Control Technology
UNI will articulate 40 NIACC credits toward their technology education degree
program. (In the past--without the articulation agreement--UNI accepted only
16 elective credits toward the technology education degree.)
3) Electronics Technology
UNI will articulate 40 NIACC credits toward their technology education degree
program. (In the past--without the articulate agreement--UNI accepted only 16
elective credits toward the technology education degree.)
4) Mechanical Design Technology
UNI will articulate 41 NIACC credits toward their technology education degree
program. (In the past--without the articulation agreement--UNI accepted only
16 elective credits toward the technology education degree.)
5) Tool and Die Technology
UNI will articulate 41 NIACC credits toward their technology education degree
program. (In the past--without the articulate agreement--UNI accepted only 16
elective credits toward the technology education degree.)
3) Instrument to Facilitate the "Integrated Degree"
Attached please find an "articulation
agreement" that represents an academic instrument to facilitate
transfer from the identified programs toward a degree in technical education
at UNI.

North
Iowa Area Community College &University of Northern Iowa
This constitutes an agreement between North Iowa Area Community
College and the University of Northern Iowa concerning requirements for completion
of the Technology Education Degree at UNI. The agreement is based on an analysis
of the program requirements as stated in the 1997-98 NIACC Catalog and major
and degree requirements as stated in the 1998-2000 UNI Catalog. It is understood
that this agreement will be reviewed and, if necessary, modify when either institution
issues a new catalog or alters the program/major requirements.
This agreement was developed by the following representatives
from NIACC and UNI:
- Michael Morrison (retired 2008), Vice President of Academic Affairs,
NIACC
- Jerald Torgerson, Registrar & Director of Transfer
Relations, NIACC
- Keith Byman, Industrial Division Chairperson, NIACC
- John Fecik, Technology Education Coordinator, UNI
- Dennis Hendrickson, Associate Director for Admissions,
UNI
- Charles Johnson, Professor of Industrial Technology,
UNI
Implementation of this agreement is effective with the approval
of both cooperating institutions as attested to by the following signatures:

Four Year Program Model (AA and BA)
This model is for the student that makes a decision within the
first or second semester to major in Technology Education, and results in the
student having both an AA and BA degree. Courses and calculations are based
on degree requirements as of fall 1998. In order to complete the degree in four
years, students will need to begin at UNI in the fall semester of the third
year, will need an overall 2.5 GPA for courses taken at NIACC for immediate
admission into the UNI teacher education program, and will need to take 200:018
Field Experience: Teacher As a Change Agent during the first semester at UNI.

from NIACC that will meet degree requirements and further reduce hours required
at UNI are:
- 13 s.h. in the Professional Education Sequence (satisfies 11 s.h. at UNI)*
- 20:101 (3), 80:230 (3), 80:103 (3), 20:110 (2), and 20:120 (2)
- 8 s.h. (1 year) of Foreign Language (unless the UNI graduation requirement
for foreign language was previously satisfied)
- 3 s.h. in Non-Western Cultures (80:144)
- Other courses that meet UNI General Education Requirements
*Should be given top priority
