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.
Admission to RIT's Diagnostic Medical Sonography program is very competitive;
Up to two seats per year are available to students that have been accepted

A minimum GPA of 3.25 at the time of transfer application is required for
admission consideration. Students not formally accepted into the 2+2 (as
indicated by MCC major) may need a higher GPA. Students repeating courses
will have their grade point average recalculated by RIT to include these
courses in their overall GPA. Numerous repeat of courses and/or low GPA
may result in removal of student from the 2+2 agreement by MCC or RIT.
The final admissions
decision will be made by RIT.
Required for students accepted into this Competitive 2+2 (as indicated
by the MCC major): Matriculated, continuous, full-time enrollment (12 or
