NMC Transfer Guide - MTA

To: University of Michigan - Ann Arbor

Program: Engineering

The knowledge and discipline gained from undergraduate engineering study is excellent preparation for careers in business, law, and medicine. Many graduates continue on for master's or doctorate degrees. Professional engineering licensure usually requires four years of experience followed by a qualifying exam offered by the state in which the license is sought.

Admission Criteria

GPA - Competitive applicants for transfer admission will have completed prerequisite courses with a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0. Due to the competitive nature of the Engineering programs, a 3.5 may be more realistic.

The College of Engineering offers 17 degree programs:

  • Aerospace Engineering
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Chemical Engineering
  • Climate and Meteorology
  • Civil Engineering
  • Computer Engineering
  • Computer Science (Linear Algebra required at UofM, not MTH 251.)
  • Data Science
  • Electrical Engineering
  • Engineering Physics
  • Environmental Engineering
  • Industrial & Operations Engineering (Linear Algebra required at UofM, not MTH 251.)
  • Materials Science & Engineering
  • Mechanical Engineering
  • Naval Architecture/Marine Engineering
  • Nuclear Engineering & Radiological Sciences
  • Space Sciences and Engineering

Applications – Students will apply directly to the College of Engineering. Contact: College of Engineering.

Application Deadline – February 1st for Fall semester; October 1 for Winter semester.

Transfer Credits - 2.0 is the minimum grade required to transfer courses to U of M. CLEP credits/scores and online or placement exam credits are not accepted; only AP test credit scores will be accepted. Contact the College of Engineering for more information. Phone: (734) 647-7000 or (734) 647-7101 or email  enginrta@umich.edu.
