Engineering 2+2 Program

NMC has 2+2 engineering articulation agreements with Lake Superior State University, Kettering University, and Michigan Technological University. The most popular of these is the agreement with Michigan Technological University.

The engineering 2+2 Northwestern Michigan College/Michigan Technological University program was designed to facilitate the transfer of students from NMC's engineering program to MTU's College of Engineering. The student typically enters NMC with engineering designated as their choice of major.

Applications for the 2+2 program are solicited from interested students and are reviewed by members of the science/math division. Admittance criteria include successful performance (usually 2.5 - 3.0 GPA) in the core classes including math, engineering, physics and chemistry.

Once admitted to the 2+2 program the student is guaranteed admission to MTU in the engineering major of their choice as a junior. Advisors from MTU's admission office travel to NMC each fall to meet with the students who will be attending MTU the following fall. They return to NMC in March to enroll the students in the fall classes at MTU. All indications are that students who go through the 2+2 program do very well both at MTU and at their career after college. The MTU engineering majors included in the 2+2 agreement include: Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Geological Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Metallurgical Engineering, Mining Engineering, and Computer Engineering.
