NMC Transfer Guide - MTA

To: Central Michigan University - Main Campus

Program: Dietetics

Completion of this program satisfies the academic requirements of the American Dietetics Association for the Dietetics Program. After program completion, students are able to apply for dietetic internships. Graduates who have successfully completed an accredited dietetics internship are eligible to take the CDR registration examination for dietitians.

Due to the nature of this program, a student may consider completing MTA, speech and math, and transferring without the associate degree. If an associate degree is desired, it is important to pick a minor and work on as many requirements for that minor as possible. Consult with Advisors at NMC and CMU for assistance in course selection and minor selection. Courses for a minor may be used for your General Education.

Admission Criteria

1. Admission Requirements - 3.0 GPA. Courses need to have a 2.0 to transfer to CMU.
2. 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.
3. It is important to contact a CMU Advisor early in your academic career.

Basic Requirements

Upon request at the NMC Records and Registration Office, a statement will be placed on your transcript, "MICHIGAN TRANSFER AGREEMENT (MTA) SATISFIED". Completion of the MTA will satisfy CMU's University Program requirements and 6 credits of their Writing Intensive requirement.
