Note(s)

* MATH 105 and MATH 106 do not satisfy MTA.

Transfer students should take MATH 110 , which will fulfill the math requirement.
Students will need to complete additional General Education requirements to satisfy MTA. See course catalog for additional information about the Michigan Transfer Agreement.
Students should also check with their transfer institution for the level of math required.

** Students planning to transfer into a Baccalaureate degree program are encouraged to satisfy the chemistry requirement by taking CHEM 110 and CHEM 112 . Students should check with their transfer institution.
