All recommended courses will transfer and apply toward degree requirements
provided grades of a 2.0 or better are earned. It is not required that students
complete all recommended courses prior to enrolling at MTU. There are no
minimum/maximum credit restrictions in effect for transfer students. There is a
MTU residency requirement of one year (30 credits) for all students. Qualified
students will be accepted any time they choose to apply regardless of the number
of courses completed (provided openings exist in their requested program).
Requirements for all bachelor degrees at MTU include 28 semester credits from the
General Education Curriculum. Students should note that 9 of the 28 credits must
be equivalent to Junior/Senior level courses. Transfer students can meet these
