2+2 Transfer Pathway Guides
2+2 with University of Rochester
B.S. Optics (OT36 - Competitive)
MCC Degree Awarded:
Optical Systems Technology A.A.S. (OT01)
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.
This 2+2
requires students to take courses at the University of Rochester (UR) while
attending MCC (called Cross Registration); this is needed to transfer in
at junior standing. See the Cross Registration Form (RAC Form) at the bottom
of this page.
Read all notes on the bottom of this page for UR specific information.
Course substitutions will be needed as this 2+2 does not directly follow
the MCC Degree Works worksheet. See the Optics Department Chair for course
substitutions.

electives, use this chart to choose courses: UR
Transfer Credit Equivalency Chart for MCC Courses.
This outlines course transferability to UR.
MCC College Now or other Dual Enrollment courses: College coursework taught
in high school will NOT be granted transfer credit at UR. See UR
transfer credit policies.
AP, IB, CLEP, & Transfer courses: Credits showing as accepted by MCC
may not be transferable. See AP
Policies
and IB
Policies.
Contact UR with questions.
Courses will transfer only if the student receives a grade of C or better.
Higher grades for certain courses may be required (ex. ENG 200 and Chemistry
courses).
* Grade of B or higher required
Visit UR

For those formally enrolled in the 2+2 Pathway as indicated by your MCC
major, fill out the MCC 2+2 -
Intent to Enroll Form
the semester before you intend to transfer. All others will need to
apply via the Common Application.
GPA of 3.0 or higher is advised for acceptance to UR. GPA of 2.0 is required
for MCC graduation. See the Optics Department Chair for course substitutions.
Optical Systems Technology AAS (OT01) will be the degree the student is
audited against and awarded from MCC. Documentation source: MCC Advisement
& Transfer Services 2023-2024. Updated 6/28/2023
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. |
