Transfer Guide
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.
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.
Admission to RIT's
Diagnostic Medical Sonography program is very competitive A minimum
GPA of 3.25 at the time of transfer application is required for admission
consideration Students repeating courses will have their grade point average
recalculated by RIT to include these courses in their overall GPA.
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.
