Michigan Transfer Agreement

Michigan Transfer Agreement course list download:

MTA Approved CoursesDownload

The Michigan Transfer Agreement facilitates the transfer of students from community colleges to four-year colleges and universities in Michigan. By carefully choosing courses, students can earn an associate degree from Kirtland and complete the Michigan Transfer Agreement; however, students do not need to obtain a degree in order to earn the MTA designation. If students want to request the “MTA Satisfied” on their transcript, they should contact the Registrar’s Office for review.

Requirements for the Michigan Transfer Agreement

  • Minimum of 30 credits.
  • A grade of “C” or higher is required for each course.
  • One course in English composition.
  • A second course in English composition or one course in communications.
  • One course in mathematics.
  • Two courses in social sciences (from two disciplines).
  • Two courses in humanities and fine arts (from two disciplines excluding studio and performance classes).
  • Two courses in natural science (from two disciplines) including one laboratory experience.

Advanced Placement (AP) credit is applicable towards the MTA based on criteria met from the sending institution; however, it is recommended that students check with the receiving institution to see how they accept AP credit.

Credit earned through International Baccalaureate (IB), College-Level Examination Program (CLEP), and DANTES Subject Standardized Test (DSST) are not applicable to the MTA at this time.

Courses that meet the MTA include the following:

English Composition and Communications:

  • ENG 10303 or ENG 10305
  • ENG 10403
  • SPE 10500
  • SPE 11401
