Academic Instruction

Return to: Instructional Divisions & Disciplines

Northwest offers a wide range of courses across six academic departments: Business, Fine Arts, Humanities, Social Science, Mathematics, and Natural Sciences. Students in the General College Degree Program follow educational pathways designed for seamless transfer to four-year universities or colleges. Specific pathways for various four-year programs are listed under their respective disciplines, with course requirements detailed in the degree plan. For courses tailored to your specific focus area, consult the MS Articulation and Transfer Tool, and contact your advisor for personalized guidance.

In 1991, the Mississippi Board of Trustees of State Institutions of Higher Learning and the Mississippi Community College Board reached an articulation agreement on the transfer of student coursework between state universities and community colleges. This agreement provides for the smooth transfer from the community college to programs of study offered by the universities. Each university will accept the courses listed on a particular transfer program without loss of credit toward the conclusion of the four-year degree. It is intended that this articulation agreement be a minimum program transfer for all students moving from the community college to the university system - acting as a “safety net” for transfer students. The agreement does not replace any individual articulation agreement between a particular community college and a university which would allow additional courses to transfer into a specific program of study.
