Madonna University participates in the Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA) to facilitate transfer from Michigan community colleges. The MTA allows students to
complete general education courses at participating institutions in Michigan.
A minimum of 30 credits must be taken at the community college to satisfy MTA, including:
- 1 course in English Composition and a second English Composition or Communications
course
- 1 course in Mathematics from one of three pathways: College Algebra, Statistics, or
Quantitative Reasoning
- 2 courses in Social Sciences (from two disciplines)
- 2 courses in Humanities and Fine Arts (from two disciplines, excluding studio and
performance)
- 2 courses in Natural Sciences including one with laboratory experience (from two disciplines)
With completion of MTA, Madonna University recognizes that the Core Courses component
of graduation requirements has been completed. Note that the student’s official transcript
from the two-year institution must indicate that the MTA has been satisfied.
Madonna University has partnered with many two year colleges to increase the ease
of transfer between the two institutions through established articulation agreements
and transfer guides. Articulation agreements and transfer guides outline a clear pathway
for applicants to transfer credit to Madonna University and are reviewed on a regular
basis to reflect the most accurate and up-to-date course listings.
