Walsh College and MCC Sign Reverse Transfer Agreement

Macomb Community College has signed an updated articulation and reverse transfer agreement with Walsh College, one of the state’s largest business schools with nationally ranked programs. The agreement includes transfer plans outlining the seamless transfer of Macomb’s Associate of Business Administration Degree (ABA) to Walsh College’s Bachelor of Accountancy and Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) degrees as well as Macomb’s Associate of Applied Science degree in areas of technology to Walsh College’s Bachelor of Science in Information Technology.

Walsh College was a founding partner institution of the Macomb University Center first offerings classes in 1991. The agreement solidifies the mutual commitment and dedication to preparing students for success at any point in their academic career.

The agreement allows students who meet the admission requirements to transfer up to 82 semester credit hours towards one of the following Walsh College degrees:

Walsh College and Macomb signed a Reverse Transfer Agreement in February 2014 to allow students that have transferred to Walsh College to earn an associate degree. This continues as part of the agreement allowing eligible students to earn credit for the associate’s degree while pursuing a bachelor’s degree at Walsh. Students may also transfer coursework from Walsh to Macomb to potentially earn an Associate Degree.

A new addition to the agreement is the detailed Transfer Plans outlining the requirements to complete an associate degree and providing a seamless transfer for their bachelor degree. These plans are beneficial to students providing the pathway to complete an associate degree even though not required for admission to Walsh.

“We share a mutual commitment to student success and this updated agreement between Walsh College and Macomb Community College strengthens our long-standing partnership and dedication to provide options for students to receive the highest quality academic programs,” said Marsha Kelliher, president and CEO, Walsh College.

“We value our continuing collaboration with Walsh College and its focus on maximizing the ability of our students to earn degrees that position them for sustainable career success,” said Macomb Community College President James O. Sawyer IV, Ed.D.

Walsh College and Macomb have been partners since 1970. Over 45 percent of Walsh undergraduate students transfer from Macomb. Macomb transfer students have consistently accounted for the highest number of all enrolled undergraduate students every academic year for at least the past 10 years, and the number of students from Macomb has steadily increased. Since 1991, over 2,000 Walsh bachelor degree graduates transferred from Macomb.
