Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA) Requirements


Fulfill the Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA) 

The MTA makes it easier for students to transfer their general education courses earned at community colleges like Schoolcraft to participating four-year institutions in the State of Michigan and gives students more flexibility in the selection of courses they can take to satisfy the general education requirements.​

(Only these courses or a combination of courses may be used to satisfy the final requirement for MTA math or English communication.)
