NOTES:
1. This transfer guide represents an articulation (partnership) agreement
between Lansing Community College (LCC) and Central Michigan University (CMU)
which facilitates the transfer of LCC students to CMU's Elementary Education
program with a major in Integrated Science and minor in Reading. A maximum
of 94 credits may be completed and transferred from LCC to CMU for this
program; students will complete a minimum of 66 CMU credits for a total of
160 credits required for this bachelor degree. All coursework for this
program can be completed in the Lansing area with the possible exception of
the student teaching 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. (See Note 7)
2. General Education Requirements for transfer students may be met by:
a. The MACRAO Transfer Agreement requirements may be met, or
b. The University Program Transfer Block Option may be fulfilled as described
in the CMU Extended Degree Programs Bulletin, or
c. The entire CMU University Program as described in the CMU Off Campus
Programs Bulleting. Courses are evaluated individually.
3. Students are cautioned that they must have 36 semester hours of their
Integrated Science major that are not counted on any other major or minor
for teacher certification. All courses must be taken for a grade, not for
credit/no credit even if offered as an option. Grades in courses transferred
to CMU will count in the calculation of the major GPA. A minimum 2.7 GPA
(B-) must be earned in all teaching majors.
4. LCC's ARTS 240 will transfer as ART 345 if EDUC 201 and 220 are taken prior
to taking ARTS 240.
5. Equivalent or higher level courses may be accepted, subject to approval of
the appropriate CMU department.
