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 full Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA) will be counted as fulfillment of all Essential Education program requirements.
MTA students will still need to fulfill the overall credit requirement for their major
and all major requirements. Transfer students from Michigan who do not complete the full MTA, as well as transfer
students coming from outside of Michigan, will participate in the Essential Education
program. They will receive credit for the courses they do complete on the basis of
individual course evaluation and established transfer equivalencies. Students who have completed the MTA are encouraged but not required to take the Michigan
Tech Transfer Seminar. This unique course recognizes the specific needs of transfer
students and supports students in building community at Michigan Tech, reflecting
on how their previous academic experiences inform their Michigan Tech plans, and developing
skills for career-readiness. Transfer students who enter Essential Education should work with their academic advisor
to understand their specific department's seminar requirements before determining
whether to take a departmental Michigan Tech Seminar or the Michigan Tech Transfer
Seminar. 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.
