Associate in Science - Engineering Transfer Pathway

Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

Program Code: AA.40416

The Engineering program provides students with the foundational courses in the first two years of most Bachelor of Science engineering degrees. Students take basic science, engineering, and math courses as well as general education courses required by most engineering schools. Upon completion of program, students can transfer to a 4-year institution to complete their final two years of engineering. The Michigan Transfer Network and Articulation agreements with many universities in Michigan make the transfer of our graduates seamless.

Program Requirements Meeting the Michigan Transfer Agreement

Students wishing to fulfill the Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA) must successfully complete at least 30 credits of MTA approved courses with a minimum of a “C” (2.0) or better in each course.
