2+2 Transfer Pathway Guides

Please note that some courses required in a 2+2 Transfer Pathway may not be required for the MCC program. This could have financial aid implications. Students should meet with their advisor or with a transfer representative to discuss an academic plan and recommended sequence of courses.

Directions: 1. Use your MCC Degree Works worksheet and the St. John Fisher (SJF) MCC Liberal Arts Advising Guide for Transfer Students to choose courses to take at MCC. Note that this 2+2 Transfer Pathway Advising Guide directly follows the MCC Degree Works worksheet; no modifications or substitutions are needed. Students are strongly advised to graduate from MCC before transferring as SJF waives their local general education course requirements for students transferring with an Associate degree.   Prospective MCC students: see the MCC Biology A.S. degree outline under Program Details. 2. Meet with your MCC advisor and SJF Transfer Admission staff to plan your transfer. Apply to SJF the semester before you complete your degree at MCC. Note: St. John Fisher University offers both a BA and BS degree in Biology. BA degrees require a minor (18 credits in another area). AP, IB, CLEP, transfer courses, MCC College Now or other Dual Enrollment credits: Credits showing as accepted by MCC may not be transferable. See: Credit Transfer Policies. Contact SJF with questions. Foreign Language: St. John Fisher B.A. candidates need to show language proficiency. They can do this by either having transfer credit for language at the MCC 102 level, taking course(s) at Fisher to complete at the MCC 102 level or by taking a language proficiency test through the department of Modern Languages at Fisher that demonstrates proficiency at the MCC 102 or equivalent Fisher 112 level.
