Eastern Michigan University – Public Safety Administration
Additional Information:
1. In completing the coordinated program of study for this articulation agreement, course substitutions should be
made with the guidance of the advisors at both institutions (indicated below) to assure that all requirements are
satisfied. Each institution will determine the satisfaction of their individual program and degree requirements.
HFCC courses indicated with an * are required for EMU’s Public Safety Administration Program.
2. Students whose transcripts have the “MTA Satisfied” endorsement will only be required to complete one
“Perspectives on a Diverse World” course, one “Learning Beyond the Classroom” (LBC) experience, and a
Writing Intensive course in the major. The Perspectives on a Diverse World requirement may be transferred to
EMU.
To use the Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA), students must have an official community college transcript, with
the “MTA Satisfied” endorsement, sent to EMU’s Admissions Office. Students who do not have “MTA Satisfied”
on their community college transcript, will be required to satisfy EMU’s general education requirements as listed
in the Undergraduate Catalog. The MTA may be completed after admission to EMU, however, students should
inform their advisor in order to receive appropriate advising.
3. Only courses with a grade of “C” or better (2.0 on a 4.0 scale) will be accepted for transfer to EMU.
4. Under this agreement, EMU will waive the 60-hour rule and require that a minimum of 30 credit hours must be
completed in EMU courses, 15 hours of which must be in major/program requirements at the 300-level or above.
Of the last 30 hours completed before graduation, a minimum of 10 hours must be in courses offered by EMU. A
minimum of 124 credit hours, completed in-residence or accepted in transfer, is required for graduation.
5. Students must meet all admission requirements at the time of admission to EMU, including submitting transcripts
from all previously attended colleges.
6. Students are encouraged to meet with the EMU Public Safety Administration Advisor early, before completing an
admission application to EMU. Students should indicate they are following this articulation agreement on their
application to EMU and bring a copy of the guide to all advising sessions. Copies of this articulation guide are
available at www.emich.edu/ccr/artguide.php
This agreement is effective as of September 1, 2010 until August 31, 2014. Extended through April 30, 2015
This agreement has been extended through August 2014. It is a renewal of an agreement made in September 2007.
Students who began this program prior to the new effective date have the option of changing to this guide. If this
agreement is not renewed at the end of the effective period, students who already started the program will be given an
additional three years to be admitted to EMU under the terms of this agreement.
