Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA)

The Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA) provides transferability of 30 semester credits to meet many of the general education requirements at participating Michigan colleges and universities.

This agreement is the result of registrars from Michigan public and independent colleges and universities working together to facilitate the transfer of general education requirements from one institution to another.

In general, the agreement meets one year of general education requirements for a bachelor's degree. Another feature of the program is that it offers flexibility and customization in course selection.
