Description
The Michigan Transfer Network offers MiTransfer pathways - which provide guidance about transferring courses from associate degree programs to bachelor degree programs, and MiWorkforce pathways - which provide guidance about transfer agreements between applied workforce degrees and bachelor degree programs. The purposes of the MiTransfer and MiWorkforce pathways are to 1) increase the number of individuals, including healthcare students, who receive their bachelor degree; 2) encourage those with their associate's degree to continue their education and 3) to broaden the number of locations and programs where individuals can receive their education. There are MiTransfer pathways applicable to healthcare including Biology, Psychology, Public Health and Social Work. Additionally, there is a healthcare-specific MiWorkforce pathway.
