Students interested in
this Competitive Transfer Pathway must complete an MCC program change request
and meet specific entrance requirements to be formally accepted.
For those accepted (as indicated by their MCC major): continuous, full-time

If not accepted into the MCC Competitive Transfer Pathway, students can
still follow this advising guide and apply to the transfer university.
All students are encouraged to meet with transfer staff at MCC and at the
transfer institution.
