Transferring to a four-year college or university from Delta is now even simpler thanks to transfer agreements with 30 Michigan colleges and universities. These agreements allow you to transfer more credits in several areas of study, making it easier for you to complete essential courses before deciding where to transfer.

How it works

The objective of the MiTransfer Pathway Initiative is to make the overall transfer experience more efficient, easier to understand and simpler to navigate. Faculty from across the state have identified major-specific courses that you can take in your associate degree program as a transfer pathway to the bachelor’s degree program at your future university. The MiTransfer Pathways statewide agreement builds on the Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA). The MTA allows transfer students to select designated courses to complete a minimum of 30 credit hours to fulfill MTA distribution requirements. Students following MiTransfer Pathway agreements should select courses that meet the MTA and the recommended MiTransfer Pathways major-specific courses when completing their Associate in Arts or Associate in Science degree at Delta. 

The agreements are different from others because they outline major-specific courses that students should complete while enrolled at Delta.
