Program Description
The Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA) was designed to seamlessly allow students to transfer from 2-year to 4-year colleges with the majority of general education requirements from both institutions to be satisfied. Students who complete the requirements listed in this certificate will automatically receive a Michigan Transfer Agreement certificate from HFC unless they opt out. Thirty (30) credit hours from six categories are required for completion of this certificate. Students should work with an Academic Advisor prior to selecting courses as many programs already have very specific MTA required courses for degree completion.
To prepare students for transfer to a 4-year institution.

- Effectively communicate ideas appropriate to their discipline using standard English, through written and verbal communication.
- Demonstrate skills for computer technology, including Internet, network and advanced file operations. Skills will include organizing, managing, and presenting data using office productivity software.
