Officials from Richland
College (RLC) and The University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) recently signed
a transfer agreement for the acceptance of Associate in Arts with an Emphasis
in Arts and Technology from RLC into UTD's Bachelor of Arts and Technology
degree. 
A second agreement also was signed that will create a seamless transfer from RLC's multimedia associate's degrees and certificates into UTD's Arts and Technology degree. RLC offers a Web Design Associates in Applied Science degree, Visual Design (Level I and Level II) Certificates, Internet Communications (Level I and Level II) Certificates, Multimedia Developer (Level I and Level II) Certificates and Multimedia Animator (Level II) Certificate.
The transfer agreements,
also called articulation agreements, are the third and fourth such agreements
RLC and UTD have reached in the past two years. In February 2004, RLC and
UTD signed a transfer agreement for students pursuing a degree in electrical
engineering. In December 2004, the institutions signed a transfer agreement
for students in journalism/communications.
