The Michigan Tech Transfer Services Office assists all students who wish to transfer credit from a U.S. institution. If you would like to transfer to Michigan Tech, please review the transfer information on this page as well as the information on the Michigan Tech Admissions page.
Transfer Credit Information
Students may receive transfer credit at Michigan Tech for courses taken at other institutions. Please keep in mind that Michigan Tech's transfer credit procedures may not be the same as transfer credit procedures at other universities.
Essential Education Transfer Guidelines
Completion of the Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA) fulfills all Essential Education requirements. MTA students will still need
to complete the overall course and credit requirements for their major. Students from Michigan who have not completed the MTA, as well as transfer students
coming from outside of Michigan, must complete Essential Education requirements as
part of their degree. Outside of the MTA, transfer credit is based on individual course
evaluations and established course equivalents. Transfer students who complete the MTA and do not have a major-required seminar are
encouraged to take UN 2013, Michigan Tech Transfer Seminar. This course recognizes
the needs of transfer students and supports students in building community at Michigan
Tech, reflecting on how previous academic experiences inform Michigan Tech plans,
and developing skills for career-readiness. Students coming directly from high school who have completed the MTA and are not required
to take a seminar for their major requirements are encouraged to take UN 1013, Michigan
Tech Seminar. This course introduces new Huskies to university resources and guides
students in planning career pathways and developing habits for academic success. Students should work with their academic advisor to understand their specific department's
seminar requirements before registering for courses. For additional information about transfer credits, please see our Frequently Asked Questions page or contact your academic advisor.
General Education Transfer Guidelines
General Education is an important and required component of every Michigan Tech degree. Transfer students must also meet the General Education requirements.
Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA)
Michigan Tech participates in the MTA. Students may complete the MTA at one of the participating community colleges in Michigan, which will satisfy a portion of Michigan Tech's general education requirements.
Reverse Transfer (Associate Degree Completion)
Michigan Tech has reverse transfer agreements with five community colleges in Michigan.
Guest Students
The Michigan Tech Transfer Services Office also advises guest students. Guest students have elected to study at Michigan Tech as a guest or are Michigan Tech students that would like to study at another university in Michigan.
