NOTES:
1. Grand Valley State University (GVSU) honors the MACRAO Transfer Agreement.
Students whose transcripts are endorsed as "MACRAO Satisfied" will only be
required to meet the following GVSU Provisos:
a. demonstrate proficiencies in math [fulfilled with MATH 126 at LCC]
b. two cultural classes [fulfilled with CHOICE 2 and 3 above]
To use MACRAO, students should request a MACRAO evaluation of their transcript
from the LCC Registrar's Office. Students who do not satisfy MACRAO will have
to satisfy the GVSU General Education Requirements.
2. GVSU accepts a maximum of 62 transferable credits. The GVSU transfer admission
grade point average is 2.50. LCC courses other than those appearing on this
guide should be checked for transferability to the four-year institution.
3. If time permits, student may also take PHYS 222 or 252.
4. Students can take STAT 170 in place of CPSC 120 and 230. If students choose
this option they will need to take STAT 216 at GVSU. Students may also choose
MATH 151 and 152 in place of the above option.
5. The geosciences offer challenging career opportunities and are among the
higher paid professions. The B.S. degree in geology is intended primarily
to prepare students for graduate study in the geological sciences. As a
terminal degree, it is useful in a variety of careers, including environmental
technology, mineral and energy resource exploration, science writing, and
business. Geoscientists will apply their knowledge and skills to exploring
and developing the earth's resources.
6. Students seeking an LCC associate degree must fulfill specific graduation
requirements including the LCC general education core requirements. See the
LCC catalog at http://www.lcc.edu/catalog for additional details.
7. This transfer guide requires basic skill levels in mathematics, reading, and
writing. To determine accurate course placement, students should take the
Computerized Placement Tests in the LCC Assessment Center (GB 200) prior to
registration. For testing hours call (517) 267-5500.
