How to Apply for Bachelor of Science in Urban Technology

Application Eligibility

The Urban Technology degree is open to 2023 (and beyond) high school graduates. Accepting U-M cross-campus transfer students starting in Fall 2023. While Urban Technology is not available as a dual-degree option, a minor is incorporated, so you will explore a complementary discipline in-depth during your time as a Wolverine.

How to Apply

Though it may seem a little counterintuitive, you will complete the Fall 2023 application in order to start at U-M as an Urban Technology major in Winter 2024. Once your completed application is submitted, the Office of Undergraduate Admissions will convert your application to Winter 2024. We accept the Common App.
