Transfer Bridges to the University of Michigan is a program for students at Michigan community colleges who want to study for two years at their local community college and then transfer to U-M Ann Arbor’s College of Literature, Science, and the Arts (LSA) to complete their bachelor’s degree.

The program varies at each community college, but your participation in the program opens up opportunities to engage with U-M co-curricular and extracurricular opportunities, work with faculty mentors at U-M, and receive advising to help you map your transfer plan. To see if Transfer Bridges is available at your school and what the program entails, check out the links at the bottom of the page.

The Transfer Bridges program is designed to help you prepare for applying to LSA. Participation does not guarantee your admission to the University of Michigan.

Benefits of Joining Transfer Bridges at Your Community College

Mentorship

LSA Transfer Ambassadors are excited to share their experiences and help you navigate the transfer process through goal setting, navigating the application process, and connecting to valuable University of Michigan resources. We will be accepting students for the mentorship program in August. Check back to register.

Make Connections with U-M Faculty

Do you have questions about specific majors, research, graduate school, or just academic planning in general? Transfer Bridges students can meet directly with faculty and staff in academic departments to explore their interests, even before you are admitted to U-M.
