Associate in Science - Engineering Transfer Pathway


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Programs by Division

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 this program, students can transfer to a 4-year institution to complete their bachelor's degree in engineering.  The Michigan Transfer Network and Articulation agreements with many universities in Michigan make the transfer of our graduates seamless. Students are encouraged to consult with a Student Success Advisor about proper course selections based on transfer destination and career goals.
