2+2 Transfer Pathway Guides

Please note that some courses required in a 2+2 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.

You will need one course for each Perspective area. For example, SOC 101 = RIT Social Perspective and SUNY Social Science ENG 105 = RIT Artistic Perspective and SUNY Humanities Foreign Language course = RIT Global Perspective and SUNY Foreign Language See RIT Course Equivalencies. AP, IB, CLEP, DUAL ENROLLMENT, & TRANSFER COURSES: Credits showing as accepted by MCC may not be transferable. See Transfer and Test Credit. Contact RIT with questions. Start thinking about what you would like as your Immersion or Minor at RIT. GPA of 3.0 or higher is advised for acceptance to RIT. GPA of 2.0 is required for MCC graduation. Optical Systems Technology AAS (OT01) will be the degree the student is audited against and awarded from MCC. See the Optics Department Chair for needed course substitutions.
