Transfer Admission: Summer Term Only Start

Students applying to transfer from an accredited community college, college, or university other than U-M are required to complete a minimum of 49 transferrable credit hours, up to a maximum of 70 transferrable credit hours of prerequisite courses at their college/university, including the required prerequisites outlined below.

*Transfer students who seek financial aid (grants, loans, work study) during the summer term are required to fill out the previous year FAFSA since that term is the end of that aid year. Then, for their first fall/winter semesters, the current FAFSA is required so transfer students need to complete two FAFSAs.

Summer Term Intensive Studio

If accepted into the Bachelor of Science in Architecture program, external transfer students will begin their curriculum at Taubman during the summer term with a 6-credit intensive studio (Arch 302) to help them acclimate to studio at Taubman.

Meet with Us

Prospective transfer students are highly encouraged to meet with a Taubman College Admissions Officer to ensure they are completing the necessary coursework. Please contact TaubmanCollegeAdmissions@umich.edu.
