Transfer Pathway Guides

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.

Admission to RIT's Diagnostic Medical Sonography program is very competitive; Up to two seats per year are available to students that have been accepted into the MCC 2+2 Transfer Pathway (LA63) as indicated by the MCC major. A minimum GPA of 3.25 at the time of transfer application is required for admission consideration. Students not formally accepted into the 2+2 (as indicated by MCC major) may need a higher GPA. Students repeating courses will have their grade point average recalculated by RIT to include these courses in their overall GPA. Numerous repeat of courses and/or low GPA may result in removal of student from the 2+2 agreement by MCC or RIT. The final admissions decision will be made by RIT.

Required for students accepted into this Competitive 2+2 (as indicated by the MCC major): Matriculated, continuous, full-time enrollment (12 or more credit hours during the Fall and Spring semesters).

Note: as of Spring 2025, this is an advising guide only. MCC students no longer can apply to the "2+2 Transfer Pathway." Students can follow the guide and apply to RIT, however, they are strongly encouraged to discuss their plans with RIT as there are very limited seats available in the RIT program.

The RIT program starts in the Fall semester only. Students should apply to RIT by February 1 of the year they plan to start at RIT. Read all notes on the bottom of this page for RIT specific information.

Note that RIT also offers certificate programs in Diagnostic Medical Sonography (Ultrasound) and Echocardiography (Cardiac Ultrasound). These may be good options to explore (especially Echocardiography). Students are strongly encouraged to speak with RIT.
