NMC Transfer guide - MTA
To: Western Michigan University - Main Campus
Program: Art
Admission to the School of Art in the College of Fine Arts requires acceptance from both Admissions (through the WMU application process) and the School of Art (through the portfolio application process). Admission is selective, and the competition is keen.
Students planning to major in any Art program should seek detailed portfolio application information from the School of Art web site: http://www.wmich.edu/art - Contact number: (269) 387-2440 or wmich.edu/art .
NOTE: Students pursuing Graphic Design Program are advised to transfer to WMU after one year at the community college. Also check prerequisites for application to the Graphic Design Program and deadlines on the School of Art website listed above.
It is recommended that students begin this process a year prior to the desired start date. Advisors are happy to meet or talk with prospective students at any point in the process.
Completion of the BASIC requirements as listed at NMC will fulfill most of the general requirements at WMU. WMU requires two additional General Education courses at the 300-400 level to be taken at WMU plus an upper level writing requirement (Proficiency #2 at WMU). Upon request at the NMC Records Office, a statement will be placed on your transcript, "MICHIGAN TRANSFER AGREEMENT (MTA) SATISFIED"
