NMC Transfer Guide - MTA

To: Central Michigan University - Main Campus

Program: Chemistry

An undergraduate chemistry degree positions a student for entry-level work in an industrial chemistry position in research and development, technical writing, product formulation, teaching, pharmacology, or pre-professional fields: medicine, dentistry veterinary. Pursuing graduate studies in a related area such as pharmacology, polymer science, chemical engineering, molecular biology or medicine is another option.

ADMISSIONS CRITERIA

1. GPA - 2.5 recommended
2. All courses transferring to CMU must be at least 2.0.
3. Transfer students must complete graduation competencies for CMU (Eng 111, 112; Com 111; MTH 111) at NMC or they will be required to complete these classes during their first or second semester at CMU.
