The MCC curriculum, paired with courses within a particular Michigan State University Certificate Program, prepares students for a wide range of employment and career choices in urban forest management. Students will earn an MSU certificate while also working towards an associate’s degree. MSU Transfer Students: Students wishing to transfer to MSU as juniors must meet with the program coordinator during their first semester to alter general education courses to meet MSU requirements.
