Michigan Transfer Agreeement (MTA)
The MiTransfer Pathways builds on the Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA). The MTA allows transfer students to select designated courses to complete a minimum of 30 credit hours fulfilling MTA distribution requirements. Students following MiTransfer Pathway agreements should complete the MTA in accordance with the sending institutions’ course designations and consider whether any recommended MiTransfer Pathways major-specific courses will “double count” to fulfill MTA distribution requirements in planning their transfer. More information about the MTA is available at www.mitransfer.org.
The MTA Mathematics distribution area allows students to complete one of three math pathways. The Biology MiTransfer Pathways faculty recommended that students complete a course in the Calculus pathway.
