Description
This program prepares students to transfer to a four-year college or university to
complete a bachelor's degree in actuarial science, biology, chemistry, math, or pharmacy.
The program will give students a solid foundation in math and science. Students should
obtain program requirements and transfer equivalencies from the college to which they
are transferring. Complete the requirements for one of the following concentrations.
These concentrations may also list courses used to meet General Education requirements.

Articulation
This program will fulfill the Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA) requirements provided
the student takes two science courses from two different disciplines. One course must
have a lab component. Students must have MTA posted on their transcripts by the WCC
Student Records Office.
Admissions Requirements
- Students must have an Academic Math Level of 7 to begin the math sequence. Two
years of high school algebra and one year of high school pre-calculus are recommended
to prepare for this program. - The biology and chemistry concentrations require one
year of high school chemistry or CEM 101 with a "C" or better to enroll in CEM 111.

*Students transferring to EMU as a biology major may substitute MTH 176 or any higher
4-credit hour math course for MTH 191. **Students transferring to EMU as a biology
major may substitute MTH 160 or higher for MTH 192. ***Students transferring to EMU
as a biology major may consider completing BIO 208 at WCC prior to transfer. +See
the MTA list to make course selections from any discipline except ECO. ++Transfer
students should consider a course from the the EMU Diverse Word Requirements list.
