University of Michigan

The University of Michigan Ross School of Business is highly selective and competitive. Note that no JC accounting courses transfer for full program credit.

For example, ACC 231, Principles of Accounting I does not transfer for full direct credit to the U-M Ross School of Business. The current website says “Not Transferable. For Business students and applicants, no business coursework is accepted for transfer.” Then, consider general university credit. All ACC courses at JC transfer as “Departmental” transfer credit. This means that if a student completes ACC 231 at JC and is admitted to the U-M Ross School of Business, the student will be required to repeat and take Principle of Accounting I again at U-M with U-M faculty. This applies to all ACC courses at JC.
