Please note that some courses required in a 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.
Transfer Guide


Students interested in this Competitive Transfer Pathway must complete an MCC program change request and meet specific entrance requirements to be formally accepted.

For those accepted (as indicated by their MCC major): continuous, full-time enrollment (12 or more credit hours each semester) is required. Enrollment in this Competitive Transfer Pathway, along with closely following the guide, significantly increases the likelihood of acceptance by the 4-year institution. Please note that student contact information will be shared with the 4-year institution. Students will need to complete a transfer application, typically done prior to the start of their last semester at MCC.

If not accepted into the MCC Competitive Transfer Pathway, students can still follow this advising guide and apply to the transfer university. All students are encouraged to meet with transfer services staff at MCC and at the transfer institution.

The number of credits accepted by RIT are indicated in parenthesis.  

Read RIT specific notes at bottom of page. Be sure to closely read this entire guide.

RIT requires several semesters of calculus for this degree. MCC courses MTH 210 and 211 will transfer to RIT as MATH 181 and MATH 182. Students may want to take these courses at MCC.

Students can also take ENG 251 Technical Communication at MCC. It will transfer as COMM 142 at RIT.

Students transferring to RIT will need co-ops and additional coursework that will extend their time at RIT. The 4th/final co-op block can be waived if the student receives a full-time job offer in their field of study.

Electronics courses are normally offered only one semester per year, and have as a prerequisite certain lower numbered ELT courses. Failure to complete ELT courses in a properly planned sequence may result in a delay of graduation. Most other courses in this program are available Fall, Spring and Summer sessions.

See RIT Course Equivalencies.

AP, IB, CLEP, transfer, College Now and other Dual Enrollment courses: Credits showing as accepted by MCC may not be transferable. See Transfer and Test Credit. Contact RIT with questions.

GPA of 2.8 or higher is advised for acceptance to RIT. GPA of 2.0 or higher is required for MCC graduation.

The Electrical Engineering Technology A.A.S. (ET01) will be the degree student is audited against and awarded from MCC.

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.
