The residency requirements for a student to receive a baccalaureate degree from Michigan Technological University are the following:

Study abroad and co-op credits earned through Michigan Tech may be included in this 30 hours of Michigan Tech courses if the student has completed 30 credit hours of courses at Michigan Tech among the last 60 credit hours to be applied to the degree.

The President or the President’s designee, the Provost, is authorized to grant exceptions to this requirement in extraordinary individual cases.

Degree programs with special requirements may apply for exemptions. The President or the President’s designee, the Provost, may grant such programmatic exemptions upon recommendation of the Senate.
