Keweenaw Bay Ojibwa Community College is a signatory of the Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA), which facilitates a transfer of general education requirements between Michigan colleges and universities. Students may complete the MTA requirements as part of their degree programs or as a stand-alone set of courses.
To fulfill the Michigan Transfer Agreement, students must successfully complete at least 30 credits, with at least a 2.0 in each course and at least one credit completed at the institution awarding the MTA. These credits should be met according to the following distribution:
One course in English Composition
A second course in English Composition or 1 course in Communications
One course in Mathematics from one of three pathways: College Algebra, Statistics or Quantitative Reasoning
Two courses in Social Sciences (from two disciplines)
Two courses in Humanities and Fine Arts (from two disciplines excluding studio and performance classes)
Two courses in Natural Sciences including one with laboratory experience (from two disciplines)
Courses transferred from other colleges may be counted toward the requirements as well as courses completed here.
Beginning in Fall 2015, current students’ transcripts will be routinely evaluated for MTA certification. Former students may request an MTA evaluation and may also transfer courses from other colleges to meet MTA requirements without being readmitted or re-enrolling.
