NOTES:
1. This transfer guide supports an Articulation (partnership) Agreement
between Lansing Community College (LCC) and Ferris State University (Ferris)
that allows students who have earned an Associate Degree in Criminal Justice
at LCC to transfer the identified credits toward a Bachelor's of Science in
Criminal Justice-Generalist Option degree at Ferris State University. The
remaining FSU courses for the BS in Criminal Justice can be completed at the
LCC University Center, online, and/or mixed delivery. Additionally, Ferris
extends financial aid benefits to students in Lansing who have earned a
minimum of 64 semester credits. This articulated agreement expires 01/03/14.
2. See the MACRAO Transfer Agreement for appropriate LCC courses. Final
responsibility for verifying all transfer information lies with the student.
3. Students must complete the MACRAO Transfer Agreement with the MACRAO Stamp
on their transcripts or meet the FSU General Education Requirements with a
2.0 cumulative GPA. Students should work closely with Shari Chamberlain,
FSU Admissions Transfer Counselor (see below), for the selection of any
credits not included on this guide.
4. The MACRAO Transfer Agreement applies only to students entering bachelor
degree programs at Ferris, pertains solely to general education, and does
not exempt students from meeting specific prerequisite and/or course
requirements for their degree. Only courses with a grade of 2.0 or better
will transfer.
5. Students transferring to Ferris State University with MACRAO will have
met the lower-division general education communication competency;
scientific understanding; cultural enrichment; social awareness; race,
ethnicity, and gender; and global awareness requirements. In order to
complete the general education requirements for a bachelor's degree,
students with MACRAO must still complete math proficiency and upper-
level communication competency requirements.
6. Many degrees require specific courses and prerequisite courses that also
count toward Ferris's general education requirements. Because these specific
courses are required for the degree, they must be taken even if a
student has sufficient coursework to complete the MACRAO agreement.
7. To be admitted to the program students must:
A. Complete or in the process of completing an AAS degree in Criminal
Justice.
B. Must have a minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA in all courses to be admitted.
C. Admission considered during any semester at FSU after completion of 48
college credit hours.
D. Students must meet the University General Education Requirements.
E. Submit an official transcript from all accredited colleges/universities
attended along with the FSU application form.
8. A minimum of 120 semester hours must be completed for graduation-40 of which
must be 300 level or higher. At least 30 Ferris semester hours must be
completed to fulfill FSU residency requirements. Students should work with
an Advisor to select at least two LCC courses that transfer as 300+ level
courses to Ferris.
9. Students may substitute with WRIT 131 and 132.
10. Students seeking an LCC associate degree must fulfill specific graduation
requirements. See the LCC Online Catalog for details.
11. This transfer guide requires basic skill levels in mathematics, reading, and
writing. To determine accurate course placement, students should take the
Computerized Placement Tests in the LCC Assessment Center (GB 200) prior to
registration. For testing hours call (517) 267-5500.
