UDM & OCC: A New Partnership in Engineering Education
OCC to UDM
= an easy transition
Continue to be in small classes
and receive personal
attention from faculty members.
Students begin by taking pre-engineering classes at OCC, then transfer to UDM to complete a Bachelor of Civil Engineering or Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering in approximately 2 1/2 years. This includes three co-op rotations in which students obtain a year of experience and earn an average of close to $30,000.
To make the transition from OCC to UDM easier, UDM is offering three classes at the OCC-Auburn Hills campus with a special tuition rate.
