In general, students following a BA track should complete a two semester sequence of foreign language. BA degrees require a minor (18 credits in another area). Cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher is required for acceptance and for MCC graduation. The Biology A.S. (LSB1) will be the degree student is audited against and awarded from MCC.
