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. SUNY Oswego waives their local general education course requirements for students transferring with an A.A. or A.S. degree who have met the SUNY General Education requirement at MCC.

Directions:


1. Choose one SUNY Oswego major from the list below.

2.
Use your MCC Degree Works worksheet and the major courses listed below to choose courses to take at MCC. Take as many of the courses outlined for your specific major as you are able (as well as the SUNY Gen Ed courses needed for the MCC degree). Depending on your intended major, you may be able to take additional electives of your choice to obtain the minimum needed 60 credits to graduate. Make sure to consult with an MCC advisor prior to course registration.

Prospective students, see the
MCC Liberal Arts and Sciences - General Studies A.S. degree outline.

3. In addition to the courses listed, take one of the following: CIS; MTH 160, 175 or higher; PHL 102.

4. Carefully read the notes below; contact your MCC advisor or Oswego if you have questions.

5. Apply to SUNY Oswego via the
online SUNY application the semester before you complete your degree at MCC. It will be free to apply if you are graduating from MCC.
