LANSING COMMUNITY COLLEGE TRANSFER GUIDE Title: Gen Ed-University Program Requirements, Central Michigan University Code: 1188 The Central Michigan University Program requires 30 semester hours of course work in Humanities, Natural Science, Social Sciences, and Integrative and Area Studies. There are three options for a transfer student to complete the CMU University Program requirements. A. Satisfy the MACRAO Transfer Agreement requirements (see separate guide). This option is highly recommended. B. Satisfy the "Transfer Block Option" as listed below. Transfer students are required to present a minimum of 30 semester hours distributed as outlined below to fulfill all the University Program requirements. In the event that a transfer student presents a minimum of 18 but less than 30 semester hours distributed as shown below, prior to their first CMU enrollment, they are also eligible to use the outline below to complete the remaining University Program requirements. I. HUMANITIES: Minimum 8 semester hours in at least two subject areas. Choose from the following courses: ENGL 202,211,212,255,256,266, 267; FREN/GRMN/JAPN/SPAN 121,122,201,202; HIST 211,212; HUMS 120, 211,212; MUSC 199; PHIL 152,260; RELG 241,242. II. NATURAL SCIENCES: Minimum 8 semester hours in at least two subject areas with at least one lab course. Choose from the following courses: ASTR 201; BIOL 127,145,210; CHEM 125,135,151 & 161; GEOL 221,230; ISCI 121; MATH 151; PHYS 221/251. III. SOCIAL SCIENCE: Minimum 8 semester hours in at least two subject areas. Choose from the following courses: ANTH 270; ECON 120; GEOG 200; POLS 120,121,260; PSYC 200; SOCL 120. IV. INTEGRATIVE and AREA STUDIES: This is identical to CMU's University Program, and 9 semester hours must be transferred on a course-by- course basis. Three semester hours must apply to Sub-group A - Integrative and Multi-disciplinary Studies; three to Subgroup B - Studies in Global Culture; and three to Subgroup C - Studies in Racism and Cultural Diversity in the University States, of Group IV of the CMU University Program. The above distribution of courses fulfills the MACRAO Agreement and will satisfy the university program portion of your degree at CMU. Please see your Registrar to have your transcript stamped with the MACRAO Agreement Satisfied endorsement. C. In the event a student cannot transfer 18 semester hours of coursework as distributed above, the student will be required to complete the entire CMU University Program. Comparable coursework at another college or university may be transferred into the CMU University Program on a course- by-course basis when (a) it transfers as an equivalent to a CMU course previously approved as a University Program course or (b) it transfers without a course number and has a content congruent with the goals of the University Program and the CMU courses approved on the University Program. COMPETENCY REQUIREMENT COMPETENCY CHANGE: As of August 2007, all CMU students (including those who transfer to CMU) are required to complete CMU General Education requirements for all competencies (i.e. Written English, Oral English, and Mathematics) before completing 56 hours of coursework. Central Michigan University expects its graduates to demonstrate competency in three areas: English Composition, Math, and Speech. A grade of "C" (2.0) or better in the following LCC courses found on the guide will fulfill these competency requirements: WRIT 121/131 & 122/132 or ENGL 122/132; MATH 112, 121 or higher; and SPCH 120 or 130. Any student who transfers without the competency requirements and 56 hours completed will be required to register for those courses their first semester at CMU.
