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.

A grade of C or better is needed for credit to be awarded by RIT. Read RIT specific notes at bottom of page.

Use the MCC/RIT Perspectives Courses worksheet to choose courses. For example, SOC 101 at MCC = Social Perspective at RIT; PHL 101, 103 or 105 at MCC = Ethical Perspective at RIT. Refer to RIT Course Equivalencies. AP, IB, CLEP, DUAL ENROLLMENT, & TRANSFER COURSES: Credits showing as accepted by MCC may not be transferable. See Transfer and Test Credit. Contact RIT with questions. GPA of 3.0 or higher is advised for acceptance to RIT. GPA of 2.0 is required for MCC graduation. The Biotechnology A.A.S. (BT01) will be the degree student is audited against and awarded from MCC. Documentation source: MCC Advisement & Transfer Services 2023-2024. Updated 8/2/2023. While every effort is made to ensure accurate information, students are strongly advised to verify course transferability with the four-year institution as they will make the final determination of transfer credit.
