Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA)Michigan Transfer Agreement • September 4th, 2022
Contract Type FiledSeptember 4th, 2022The Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA) is designed to facilitate the transfer of general education requirements between participating Michigan institutions. The agreement provides for the transferability of a block of core requirements. Students are encouraged to complete the MTA as a part of an associate degree but may achieve the distinction without completing a degree. At SMC, most Associate in Arts and all Associate in Science degrees facilitate the completion of the MTA requirements. Some Associate in Applied Science degrees at SMC also facilitate the completion of the MTA, but many more do not because the A.A.S. curriculum, by design, is more focused on helping students move toward employment opportunities rather than transferability.
