Basic Requirements

Oakland University participates in the Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA). After transferring to Oakland University, students must complete a writing intensive in the major and a capstone course. Students who have satisfied the MTA agreement must also either transfer in a course that is acceptable for knowledge application (KA) requirement or take an approved KA course at OU after transferring. Request the MTA stamp be placed on your transcripts in the NMC's records office.

Note: Course not numbered will work for engineering majors 1-7 listed above. Courses for specific majors are followed by its number(s) in parenthesis.
