NMC Transfer Guide - MTA

To: Wayne State University - Main Campus

Program: Mortuary Science

The degree Bachelor of Science in Mortuary Science meets the requirements for licensure in Michigan, and meets or exceeds the licensure requirements of most other states. The program is accredited by the American Board of Funeral Services Education.

The following courses listed below, along with a minimum of 60 semester credits must be completed prior to admission to the professional program. There may be additional General Education requirements and additional proficiency exams which can only be met at WSU.

This program may change requirements without notice therefore it is advised that you make contact with Wayne as early in your academic career as possible.

Students who transfer to Wayne State University from a Michigan community college with a MTA-stamped transcript who do not hold an associate degree are also considered to have fulfilled the lower division University general education requirements.

After transfer to Wayne State University, students will then complete courses specific to the graduation requirements of their individual department or college. As always, students should contact a professional advisor at Wayne State University well before they transfer." Additional requirements may be required for the specific program and degree requirements for graduation.

Application deadline for M.S. is June 1 and applications are available online December 1.
