Transfer Students
Transfer to UM-Dearborn and graduate with the prestige of a Michigan degree.
More than half of incoming UM-Dearborn students are transfer students just like you. There are a number of factors that can prompt a student to seek out a new college or university. Whether seeking academic excellence at a more affordable rate, pursuing an institution that offers flexible class scheduling, or simply aiming to find a school that’s closer to home. You may even be seeking a change of pace and prefer a university that offers smaller class sizes. Each year, we help students continue their education no matter the circumstance.
