NMC Transfer Guide - MTA
To: Northern Michigan University - Main Campus
Program: Pre-Medical
Pre-Med is a direction, not a major. Students are best prepared for medical school by completing a regular academic program involving a major and minor, with the addition of the biology, chemistry, math, and physics courses listed in this guide. Most successful pre-medical students elect majors in biology, chemistry, biochemistry, or psychology because these majors provide the kind of academic background that medical schools require.
Basic Requirements
Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA): Students who transfer to Northern Michigan University from a Michigan community college who have Michigan Transfer Agreement Satisfied posted on their transcript will be considered to have met the requirements of NMU’s Liberal Studies/General Education program. Students will still be expected to complete all other degree requirements, including graduation requirements (world cultures, health promotions, and lab) and any courses listed as “Other Required Courses” that may also be Liberal Studies/General Education courses. Transfer students who do not complete the entire block of courses required by the MTA will receive credit for courses they do complete on the basis of individual evaluation and established transfer equivalencies.
If you do not fulfill the MTA agreement, you will need to use 2 transfer guides to fulfill NMU's Division requirements: this guide and General Education Without MTA. For more information the MTA, please contact an advisor at NMC or NMU Representative Gillian Seguin at 906-235-7421.
Upon request at the NMC Records and Registration Office, a statement will be placed on your transcript, "MICHIGAN TRANSFER AGREEMENT (MTA) SATISFIED".
