Build toward a four-year engineering degree in this career-oriented transfer program.
Monroe Community College’s engineering science associate degree program has a national reputation for excellence. Our engineering students routinely transfer to top engineering schools.
In MCC’s engineering associate degree program, you will:
- Take engineering classes from award-winning faculty
- Get practical, hands-on experience in engineering science
- Earn credits you can transfer directly into an engineering bachelor’s degree program
- Develop practical skills and a personal portfolio of design/build projects
- Get to compete in a variety of national intercollegiate design competitions — our engineering students have won the ASEE National Robotic Competition six times!
- Be able to take classes at RIT and UR in our cross registration program
Earn a two-year degree that’s engineered for success — and get halfway toward a bachelor’s degree in engineering.
Maximize Your Transfer Opportunities with Our Two-Year Engineering Degree
Monroe Community College’s two-year degree in engineering science satisfies the freshman and sophomore course requirements for an engineering bachelor’s degree. You’ll gain a broad-based engineering education that lets you explore a variety of engineering disciplines before declaring a specialty. You’ll also be able to demonstrate your skills via a series of design/build projects.
MCC has a reputation as one of the nation’s most trusted engineering transfer programs because our engineering science degree is built upon input from highly ranked four-year engineering schools, as well as the Two-Year Engineering Science Association of New York.

Description
The purpose of the Engineering Science program is to prepare students for transfer to a four-year engineering school with junior status. Input from several four-year engineering schools in New York State and the Two Year Engineering Science Association of New York has been incorporated into the curriculum design to ensure transferability of the courses. The curriculum provides students with a broad based engineering education enabling them to explore a variety of engineering disciplines before declaring the field they will pursue. Several courses in the program include design and build experiences that allow students to apply what they learn to create working models.
NOTE: Credit earned or transfer credit received (e.g., dual credit courses) for engineering technology courses (e.g., CIT, CPT, ELT, MET, MFG, OPT) are
NOT
applicable to the Engineering Science degree.
