Undergraduate Transfer to Other UM Schools and Colleges

Students planning to transfer to another undergraduate school or college of the University should check to see what courses are recommended for the first year in that particular program. Helpful information can be found in Chapter V of the LS&A Bulletin. Students should investigate carefully the entrance requirements for transferring to the A. Alfred Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning, the School of Business Administration, the School of Dentistry (for the program in Dental Hygiene), the School of Education, the College of Engineering, and the College of Pharmacy. Transfer to other colleges within the University is not automatic and some programs are very competitive. Students should be aware that other schools and colleges within the university have their own admission standards, programs, and goals. Appropriate times to apply for transfer vary among these schools and their programs.

Students enrolled in the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts should not neglect the requirements of the College in anticipation of transfer to another UM unit.
