2+2Sheet

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.

This 2+2 requires students to take courses at RIT while attending MCC (called Cross Registration); this is needed to transfer in at junior standing. See the Cross Registration Form (RAC Form) at the bottom of this page. Also, read all notes on the bottom of this page for RIT specific information.
