This transfer plan will help guide you in making the transition from community college to Wayne State University. Here
are some things to keep in mind before you begin:
No more than 64 credits from a two-year school will apply toward a Wayne State University degree, though all
courses taken will be listed on the Wayne State University student record. If you are following an articulation
agreement, more than 64 credits may transfer.
We strongly recommend that you see an academic advisor to learn what the path to your degree looks like. You
can make an appointment here You are encouraged to see an advisor while you are taking classes at your
community college to ensure you are taking the correct courses. If you need help making an appointment,
please call the Transfer Student Success Center at 313-577-2487.
One of the main areas of focus for transfer students is General Education Requirements. These are classes in addition to
courses within your major that are required to ensure fundamental skills and a well-rounded education. There are three
ways that transfer students can meet these requirements:
Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA)
A student whose community college transcript is endorsed as "MTA satisfied" has completed WSU's General Education
Requirements. See your community college for specific MTA information and courses that qualify for MTA.
Note: Students must take either a second course in English Composition or one course in Communications beyond the
MTA requirements at the community college.
MACRAO Agreement
A student whose community college transcript is endorsed as “MACRAO satisfied,” has the “MACRAO stamp,” or has
earned one of the following associates degrees (Associate of Arts, Associate of Science, Associate of Baccalaureate
Studies or Associate of Liberal Arts) has completed WSU’s General Education Requirements.
Direct Course Equivalencies for each area (choose one from each area)
