State Expands College Transfer Credit Options

Thanks to a new agreement between Michigan’s Community Colleges and 4 Year Universities, students can now transfer more credits, to a 4 year university, when coming from a community college.

Under the new agreement, students can now transfer additional credits to 25 of Michigan’s 4 year universities in biology, business, criminal justice and psychology.

Recent studies have shown that 52% of Michigan Bachelor Degree holders, attended community college at one point in their academic journey, which is slightly higher than the national average of 49%.

Most of the UP’s 4 year universities, are a part of the program.
