It depends on many things, but for the most part yes. If you decide
that when you come to MCC you already know where you want to go
afterwards, you can do the 2+2 program. All credits will transfer if you
are in a 2+2 program as long as the grades meet the requirement for the
institution that you wish to transfer to. If you don't know exactly where
you want to go that is ok too, your core courses will transfer as long
as your grade is a C or better. Advisors
