Transferring from a Michigan college or university made simple and easy.

Michigan Transfer Authority (MTA) Network logo

The Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA) is designed to facilitate the transfer of general education requirements. Students can view a list of participating institutions online at www.macrao.org.

The MTA requirements should fulfill all or the majority of the student’s lower level general education requirements dependent on the requirements of their major. A transfer student must be admissible to a receiving institution in order to benefit from the MTA. Students may meet the requirements of the MTA as a stand-alone package.

To fulfill the Michigan Transfer Agreement, students must successfully complete at least 30 semester credits with at least a 2.0 GPA in each course. These credits, which will be certified by a Michigan college, should be met according to the following distribution (see the MTA Articulation Handbook for more details).

Semester Credit Requirements

  • One course in English Composition
  • A second course in English Composition OR one course in Communication
  • One course in Mathematics from one of three pathways: College Algebra, Statistics, or Quantitative Reasoning
  • Two courses in Social Science (from two disciplines)
  • Two courses in Humanities and Fine Arts (from two disciplines, excluding studio and performance classes)
  • Two courses in Natural Sciences, including one with laboratory experience (from two disciplines)

*Additional coursework may be necessary to satisfy the 30 credit hour requirement.
