Transfer Bridges to the Humanities (TB2H) @ University of Michigan is a program for Henry Ford College students who want to study the humanities and humanistic social sciences and then transfer to U-M Ann Arbor’s College of Literature, Science, and the Arts to complete their bachelor’s degree. The program also includes summer program components, and other co-curricular and extracurricular opportunities so students will get to know their U-M professors and fellow students before transferring from HFC to U-M Ann Arbor.

TB2H students at HFC have the opportunity to take part in programming on the Henry Ford campus and in Ann Arbor with the following TB2H partners. To learn more about the humanities and humanistic social sciences and the support available on HFC's campus, visit the Transfer Bridges to the Humanities website at Henry Ford College.
