The
Liberal Arts and Sciences degree (LA04) provides flexibility to tailor
coursework for a smooth transfer. The goal is to obtain your A.S. degree
while taking SUNY General Education and foundation courses for your major
at the 4-year degree institution.
Directions:
1. Choose your University of Rochester (UR) major from the list below.
2. Use your MCC Degree Works Worksheet, the major list below, and the
MCC
Master List
to choose courses
to take at MCC.
The MCC Master List outlines course transferability to UR. Take as
many of the courses outlined for your specific major as you are able (as
well as the SUNY General Education courses needed for the MCC degree).
Depending on your intended major, you may be able to take additional electives
of your choice to obtain the minimum needed 60 credits to graduate. Make
sure to consult with an advisor prior to course registration.
Prospective students, see the MCC
Liberal Arts and Sciences - General Studies A.S.
degree outline under Program Details.
3. Carefully read UR specific information at the bottom of this page; contact
your MCC advisor or UR if you have questions.
Important:
- Courses will transfer only if the student receives a grade of C or better.
Higher grades for certain courses may be required.
- AP, IB, CLEP, & Transfer courses: Credits showing as accepted by
MCC may not be transferable. See
AP
Policies
and IB
Policies.
Contact UR with questions.
- MCC College Now or other Dual Enrollment courses: College coursework
taught in high school will NOT be granted transfer credit at UR. See UR
transfer credit policies.
- If you are interested in a major that is not listed on a 2+2 guide, check
with a UR admissions representative for suggested courses to take at MCC.
