This Advising Guide is under review by the partner school. Changes TBA if needed.
2+2 with Rochester Institute of Technology
B.S. Biotechnology & Molecular Bioscience (BT31)
MCC Degree Awarded:
Biotechnology A.A.S. (BT01)
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.
A grade of C or better
is needed for credit to be awarded by RIT.

If able, take additional coursework to fulfill RIT's Artistic, Social,
Ethical, and/or Global Perspectives. Use the MCC/RIT
Perspectives Courses
worksheet to choose courses. For example, SOC 101 at MCC = Social Perspective
at RIT; PHL 101, 103 or 105 at MCC = Ethical Perspective at RIT.
Refer to 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.
GPA of 3.0 or higher is advised for acceptance to RIT. GPA of 2.0 is required
for MCC graduation.
The Biotechnology A.A.S. (BT01) 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.
