Michigan Transfer Pathways
A clear-cut pathway to a bachelor’s degree
Jackson College joins with community colleges across the state to create easy-to-understand pathways for students transferring credit to a university.
Working to increase degree completion among transfer students, community colleges and universities have collaborated to simplify the transfer process by developing MiTransfer Pathways. This allows community college students to apply every credit to four-year universities in specific programs.
MiTransfer Pathways
MiTransfer Pathways provide guidance about transferring courses in specific academic programs to multiple colleges and universities in Michigan.
