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.
Graduating from MCC before transferring to SUNY Geneseo is strongly advised.
Students transferring without an AA or AS degree will need to take additional
general education courses at Geneseo.
Directions:
1. Choose one SUNY Geneseo 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). 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 MCC 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 the notes below; contact your MCC advisor or Geneseo
if you have questions.
4. Apply to SUNY Geneseo via the online
SUNY application
the semester before you complete your degree at MCC.
It
will be free to apply if you are graduating from MCC.
If you are interested in a major that is not listed on any 2+2 guide, check
with a Geneseo admissions representative for suggested courses to take
at MCC. View all
majors at SUNY Geneseo.
