NMC's Engineering Program emphasizes math, science, and engineering fundamentals—from trigonometry to thermodynamics—providing background across all engineering fields. Designed as a transfer pathway, students build the foundation needed to enter four-year engineering programs at the junior level. Common transfer partners include Michigan Technological University, the University of Michigan, Michigan State University, and Western Michigan University. Students benefit from small class sizes and individualized instructor interaction at a cost far below four-year institutions.
