With more than 140 transfer contracts with community colleges – more than any university in the state of Michigan – Eastern Michigan University has long been considered the most transfer-friendly school for students in the community. The Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA) was mandated in the fall of 2014 by the Michigan Legislature to replace the MACRAO agreement. The MTA allows the transfer of 30 credits of basic general courses in Michigan to a Michigan bachelor`s college or university. Students can complete the MTA as part of an associate degree or as a stand-alone package. MTA courses are approved by Community College. Oakland Community College and Wayne State have a long-standing relationship and work closely together to ensure student success. Students can transfer up to 64 CCO credits to the WSU diploma (more if you follow certain articulation agreements). In 2012, Michigan`s legislature passed the language in the Community College`s endowments act, which focused on improving the portability of basic education, revising the current agreement of the Michigan Association of Registrars and Admissions Officers (MACRAO) and renaming it the Michigan Transfer Agreement. Students can ask an OCC advisor to verify that MTA requirements are being met. An MTA authorization check may also be requested if a transcript or eTranscript is ordered.
These credits, certified by Michigan Community College, must be filled in the following distributions: We frequently visit all Oakland Community College campuses and offer you many opportunities for transfer preparation and to learn more about Wayne State. Check out the calendar below for the next visit to your OCC campus. Below, we describe the MTA courses by the sending institution. These courses were evaluated based on the distribution needs of the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts (LSA). Other schools and higher education institutions have different requirements for the transmission of MTA course certificates and different requirements from the courses required for admission. Please check our requirements and deadlines (add a link). SIH 1510 and SIH 1520 can apply for social sciences or visual arts/humanities, but not both. The Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA) should facilitate the transfer of general educational requirements from one institution to another. Students can complete the MTA as part of an associate degree or as a stand-alone package. The MTA can be completed after the first registration in EMU. Students should let their advisor know that they intend to complete the MTA for appropriate advice. You can also find the MTA Curriculum Planning Worksheet [PDF] useful if you select MTA courses using the Community College-approved course list.
The intention is that the 30 credits for the centre-college courses most likely meet all or most of the general educational requirements of the student at the host university, although students should always discuss transfer options with a counsellor, as the requirements may vary from school to school.
