What is a 2+2 program? |
| The 2+2 option is a unique dual degree program offered by Monroe Community
College and selected four-year institutions. Each 2+2 degree program
enables students to take advantage of some unique benefits: concurrent
applications to both institutions, one application fee, recommended
course selections and guaranteed acceptance to the four-year college
upon completion of the associate degree and all 2+2 requirements. |
| What
type of student is the 2+2 program designed for? |
|
The 2+2 program is best suited for the first-time, full-time
matriculated student who knows where they wish to pursue their baccalaureate
degree and in what major. It is not intended for the part-time student
or the student who is uncertain of their intended major or where
they
wish to transfer. The program is available to students transferring
to MCC from other colleges as well as students wishing to make internal
program changes. There are, however, guidelines that a student must
meet. |
| Can
a student transfer to one of the 2+2 colleges, even if he/she is not enrolled
in a 2+2 program? |
|
Absolutely! A student should complete the appropriate application
form available in the Career and Transfer Center Office. Since deadlines
vary from college to college, the application process should be completed
prior to the semester one wishes to enroll.
|
| If
a student doesn't complete the requirements of the 2+2 program, can he/she
still attend the four-year college? |
| Yes, however, the student must submit a transfer admissions
application directly to the four-year college. It is the responsibility
of the student to monitor his/her degree program. If he/she foresees
that the requirements will not be fulfilled, then a separate application
process must be followed.
|
| What
degree programs are covered under the 2+2 program? |
The number of majors varies from college to college. The
2+2 Degree
Audit Sheets page allows you to perform a search based on academic
program.
|
| Can
a student attend other four-year colleges not included under the 2+2? |
|
Definitely! In fact, MCC graduates attend over 80 different
colleges and universities on an annual basis. Students are encouraged
to identify the college of their choice as soon as possible so that
appropriate semester plans can be designed to optimize course selection
and transfer of credit.
|
| What GPA is required? |
| The overall GPA varies by program and four-year college. Both the agreement
and the degree audit sheets indicate the required GPA.
|
| What
if a student drops out of school for a semester? |
|
In order for the agreement to be valid, a student must maintain
continuous full-time enrollment. Students who leave MCC and subsequently
wish to resume their studies must reapply to the College and be accepted
for a 2+2 program. They are subject to the curricular requirements
and
policies in force at the time they resume their studies. Students who
maintain continuous registration will not be affected by any curricular
changes unless these changes are in their best interest.
|
| Can
a student who previously attended a 2+2 four-year institution enter a
2+2 program for that same institution via MCC? |
|
Yes, but only if they were non-matriculated and completed
12 or fewer hours at that college. In addition, the student must meet
the minimum GPA required of the four-year college for that program
under
the conditions of the agreement.
|
| Are
there other admission requirements for students participating in a 2+2
programs? |
|
Although this is an admission guarantee program, some programs
such as teacher education majors and social work majors require the
timely submission of additional prerequisite information in order
for
the student to maintain the guarantee transfer status.
