Transfer Bridges to the Humanities @ University of Michigan
What is Transfer Bridges?
T ransfer Bridges to the Humanities @ University of Michigan is a program for HFC students who want to study the humanities and humanistic social sciences for two years and then transfer to U-M Ann Arbor’s College of Literature, Science, and the Arts to complete their bachelor’s degree at one of the nation’s leading institutions.
The program also includes summer program components, and other co-curricular and extracurricular opportunities so students will get to know their U-M professors and fellow students before transferring from HFC to U-M Ann Arbor.
Humanities are liberal arts disciplines such as archaeology, classics, history, linguistics and languages, law and politics, literature, performing arts, philosophy, religion, visual arts, and others.
Humanistic social sciences include liberal arts disciplines such as anthropology, communications, economics, evolutionary biology, genetics, political science, psychology, sociology, and others.
Students interested in non-humanities majors at U-M are also welcome to inquire, and we will direct you.
