  • Consideration of your SVSU major/minor requirements is strongly recommended when selecting general education courses. No courses may be counted in more than one General Education category but may be counted toward majors and minors.
  • SVSU's General Education requirements also include two Communication Intensive (CI) courses selected from Categories 2 - 8. {extraCiText} Additional information may be required for transfer credit evaluation.
  • Please note - Category 4 requires a minimum of two SVSU departments.
  • If your college-level transcript reflects either Michigan's former MACRAO Agreement or the current Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA), then all 30 of your MACRAO/MTA credits will be applied so that you will have met 30 (the majority) of SVSU's general education requirements. Please note that all students pursuing an SVSU bachelor's degree must complete CIs and that MTA students must complete their CIs at SVSU. If you are planning eventual transfer of credits to SVSU, contact SVSU's Office of Admission to see if either MACRAO or MTA is right for you. For information about whether your existing credits can qualify for either agreement to be designated on your transcript, contact the school where you originally pursued your credits (usually their office of admissions, academic advising, or registrars; the correct office varies by school). For more information about the MACRAO and MTA agreements, please visit www.macrao.org.
  • For additional academic information, contact SVSU's Office of Admissions, (989) 964-4200 or 1-800-968-9500.
  • All students, please refer to transfer.svsu.edu for detailed information about transferability of individual courses. Dual Enrollment and Early-Middle College (DE/EMC) students with questions, please contact one of SVSU's high school representatives in the Office of Admission. Transfer students, please contact an SVSU transfer representative in the Office of Admission for assistance. Visits with our Admissions team are available by scheduling an appointment.
