Higher Education Partnerships
in Macomb County
The idea was ahead of its time…
Higher Education Partnerships
The Macomb
University
Center (UC) is
the first of its
kind—anywhere.
The concept:
in partnership
with 11 fouryear institutions,
you can complete a bachelor’s, master’s or doctoral
degree in over 80 different fields—right on Macomb
Community College’s Center Campus.
The Macomb University Center opened in 1991 to
meet the needs of people like you: ambitious, focused
on your career, ready to add to your credentials, and
eager to move ahead professionally.
Most of all, the UC responds to reality: you’re busy,
and a degree program that fits your schedule and is
conveniently located is a real benefit. On average,
UC students work 38 hours per week. They include
men and women in the process of a career change,
professionals who have reached a career plateau, and
individuals who want to move up the career ladder.
Macomb provides the technologically rich facilities
and the resources you need to succeed, and our
partner institutions provide the faculty and the
curriculum. When you enroll, your financial obligation
will be to that institution and your degree will be
awarded from that institution as well.
In 2009, the Macomb University Center became home
to an expansion site of the Michigan State University
College of Osteopathic Medicine (MSUCOM). The
MSUCOM at the UC provides the first two years of an
osteopathic physician’s education.
Your best source of information for transferring to a
Macomb University Center partner is to contact the
institution you wish to attend. Each partner has an
office located in the Macomb University Center; or,
if you are a Macomb student, our counselors and
advisors can assist you.
Every degree program offered is designed to
provide the fundamentals needed for success. The
partnership brings together Macomb College and
the prestige of Michigan’s leading colleges and
universities including:
• Central Michigan University
• Ferris State University
• Madonna University
• Michigan State University
• Northwood University
• Oakland University
• Rochester College
• University of Detroit Mercy
• Walsh College
• Wayne State University
• Western Michigan University
Following in this catalog is information about
each partner and their programs and courses
offered at the UC.

Michigan State University—MSU
MSU is dedicated to addressing the ever-growing public
demand for physicians who can provide comprehensive and
continuing health care to all members of the family.
Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine–MSU
The college is dedicated to addressing the evergrowing public demand for physicians who can
provide comprehensive and continuing health care
to all members of the family. While the educational
program of the MSU College of Osteopathic Medicine
is geared primarily to the training of primary medicine
physicians, the curriculum and educational programs
are designed also to meet the continuing need
for medical specialists and teacher-investigators.
Traditionally, osteopathic education seeks to prepare
physicians who are especially concerned with
maintaining continuing personal relationships with
patients, their families, and their optimum interaction
with the community environmental patterns. This
emphasis is reflected in the nature of the curriculum
and particularly reinforced during clinical clerkship
rotations through a variety of clinical disciplines in
both hospital and non-hospital settings. For more
information see http://www.com.msu.edu.
Michigan State University College
of Osteopathic Medicine–MSUCOM
As of July 2009, the Michigan State University College
of Osteopathic Medicine is conducting courses at
three sites: in East Lansing on the MSU campus, at
the Detroit Medical Center downtown, and at the
Macomb University Center. Assistant Dean Kirsten
L. Waarala, D.O., leads the Macomb site. MSUCOM
has consistently ranked in the top 10% of all medical
schools in the nation for its primary care education.
Admission
Admission to MSUCOM requires competitive
undergraduate grade point averages, MCAT scores,
application to AACOMAS, transcripts, evidence of
significant volunteerism, and other requirements.
Virtually all applicants hold at least a bachelor’s degree.
Pre-admissions counseling is highly recommended, as
is planning for medical school as early as possible. For
full up-to-date information see http://www.com.msu.

Master of Arts in Counseling*—OU
The counseling profession helps people to become
self-aware, growth-oriented and effective in
mastering the challenges of life. Counselors—as
skilled, perceptive, broadly educated professionals—
assist clients in identifying areas for improvement
and in carrying out changes that promote life
fulfillment. Drawing upon a foundation of research
and theory in philosophy, psychology and education,
counselors use therapeutic skills and consultation
techniques with both individuals and groups. In any
setting, the goal of counseling is to help people
expand their potential, facilitate development and
live more satisfying and productive lives.
In order to prepare students for this difficult task, the
master’s degree programs in counseling at Oakland
University set forth curricula designed to foster both
personal development and the acquisition of a broad
range of knowledge and skills.
Master of Arts in Employment and Labor
Relations—WSU
Students gain a broad understanding of human
resources and labor relations in the workplace.
The relationship between employees, employers
and labor unions is examined, and much attention
is given to the role and dynamics of collective
bargaining, human resource management, and
labor-management relations. The pivotal areas of
effective resolution of disputes and management
of performance issues also will be explored. This
curriculum ensures that students master the
requisite analytical and practical skills for attaining
leadership positions in business, government, labor
and not-for-profit organizations. The flexible design
of the program allows students to choose electives
in focus areas of human resources, public sector,
dispute resolution, and union management.
