Michigan State University - Pre-Medicine Medical Transfer Guide for KCC

General Information

Admission as a transfer student is based on consistent academic performance, including all grades, courses, and attempts at all previously attended institutions. Applicants with a GPA below 2.0 are not admissible. Admission consideration is stronger for applicants who have completed 28 or more credits and meet the following criteria: 3.0 GPA or higher Completion of a math course equivalent to MSU's Intermediate Algebra (MTH 1825) course or higher; College Algebra (MTH 103) is preferred. At KCC, MATH 122 and 124 Students wanting to transfer to MSU should complete the Lower Level Integrative Studies courses. When applying to MSU, GPA's will be recalculated including: all courses, all attempts, and all colleges. "C" grade will transfer if overall GPA from transfer institution is at least a 3.0. "N" "W" "AU" courses will be computed as "F" for admission purposes.
