POLYTECHNIC@UofM
Almost nobody gets to a bachelor's degree in a straight line. A TCAT diploma brings up to 30 credits. An A.A.S. brings up to 60. Certifications, military training and years on the job count too — so you finish the degree instead of starting one.
Most of our students are working while they do this.
