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.
As of Fall 2023, all incoming transfer students to Nazareth University
with an Associate Degree are exempt from their core/general education requirements.
Directions:
1. Choose your intended Nazareth University major from the list below.
2. Use your MCC Degree Works worksheet and the major courses listed below
to choose courses to take at MCC. Take as many of the courses outlined
for your specific major as you are able (as well as the SUNY Gen Ed courses
needed for the MCC degree). Consult with an MCC advisor prior to course
registration.
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. Important:
60 credits of "Nazareth approved" Liberal Arts coursework
are required to graduate from Nazareth University. For your electives,
make sure to choose what Naz approves as liberal arts courses. Good choices
include: English, social sciences, math, natural sciences, foreign languages,
philosophy, as well as SPC courses.
Prospective MCC students, see the MCC
