EASTERN MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY
ARCHIVED ARTICULATION GUIDE
September 2010
EXTENDED
Oakland Community College – AAS in Fire Fighter Technology
Eastern Michigan University – BS in 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 (indicated below) at both institutions to assure that all requirements
are satisfied. Each institution will determine the satisfaction of their individual program and degree
requirements. OCC courses indicated with an * are required for EMU’s Public Safety Administration
Program.
2. Students whose transcripts are endorsed as “MACRAO Satisfied” by the community college will only be
required to satisfy three of EMU’s general education requirements, noted on this guide and listed below.
These requirements may be completed at the most appropriate time for the student whether before or after
admission to EMU.
a) an approved course in Quantitative Reasoning: [MATH 1500, 1540, 1580, 1600, or 1730 at OCC]
c) a course in Perspectives on a Diverse World: [SOC 2530 at OCC] or [ANTH 214 at EMU]
d) a Learning Beyond the Classroom (LBC) course or experience offered by EMU: [PLSC 488 or other
approved LBC course/experience offered by EMU]
To use MACRAO, students must request that an official community college transcript, with the “MACRAO
Satisfied” stamp, be sent to EMU’s Admissions Office. Students, who do not have “MACRAO Satisfied” on
their community college transcript, will be required to satisfy EMU’s general education requirements as
listed in the Undergraduate Catalog. The MACRAO stamp may be completed after admission to EMU,
however, students should inform advisors at EMU that they intend to complete MACRAO, or they may be
advised to complete additional courses for the general education program.
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. OCC students will receive equal consideration with other
students seeking admission and financial aid.
6. Students are encouraged to meet with the EMU Public Safety Administration Advisor early, before applying
to EMU. To facilitate the evaluation of transcripts, students should indicate they are using this articulation
agreement on their EMU admission application, and bring a copy of this guide to all advising sessions. Copies
of the articulation guide are available on EMU’s webpage at www.emich.edu/ccr/artguide.php
Effective Dates: September 1, 2010 until August 31, 2014.
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 three additional years to be admitted to EMU under the terms of this agreement.
