If you've attended a college or university after graduating from high school, you’re considered a transfer student. The U-M School of Kinesiology welcomes transfer applications from students who have attended or are currently attending a post-secondary institution. If you're enrolled in an early college program, please visit the First-Year Admissions page.

ADMISSIONS CRITERIA

The U-M School of Kinesiology considers the following academic factors in determining admission for transfer students:

• Number of credit hours completed in transferable course work (please refer to the U-M Transfer Credit Equivalency Search page) by proposed term of entry. Students can transfer up to 70 credits from a four-year school and up to 60 credits from a two-year school (62 credits if you have completed an associate's degree).
• Level of achievement in college course work. Admission is highly selective and dependent on spaces available.
• Progress towards completion of general degree requirements. Students in Kinesiology must complete coursework in three distribution areas (Humanities, Natural Science, and Social Science).
• Progress towards completion of required coursework in major area of study. View bulletin sections describing prerequisite courses for each major. Choose the program and current academic year from the menu.
• Demonstrated interest in the intended major area of study.
