We went through this in the Arizona state system in the 80s. It was 
referred to a articulation. There were six common course elements: 
title, description, credit hours, prerequisites, course number, and 
something else, but can't recall. Then in each department/curriculum 
area, an index of comparable equivalent subjects were published. So 
if someone successfully completed a subject in one uni or college, 
they were considered to have met that requirement. Transcripts of 
grades were easily available and exchanged between the institutions.
