Transfer Pathway Guides
2+3 with Rochester Institute of Technology
B.S. Computer Science (CS36 - Competitive)
MCC Degree Awarded:
Computer Science A.S. (CS01)
Please note that some courses required in a 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.
Carefully read and follow
this entire guide. Contact RIT or MCC Transfer Services if you have questions.
A minimum GPA of 3.25 at the time of transfer application is required for
admission consideration by RIT for those accepted into this Competitive
2+3. Students not formally accepted into the 2+3 (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+3 agreement by MCC or RIT.
The final admissions
decision will be made by RIT.
Matriculated, continuous, full-time enrollment (12 or more credit hours
each semester) is required for students formally accepted into this Competitive
2+3 (as indicated by the MCC major).
A grade of C or better is needed for credit to be awarded by RIT.
RIT's degrees requires several "Perspective" courses (Artistic,
Social, Ethical, Global, etc.). When able, choose courses that fulfill
both RIT Perspective and MCC degree requirements. Use the
MCC/RIT
Perspectives Courses
worksheet to cross-reference
courses OR take suggested courses. You only need one course for each Perspective.
It is helpful to reference the RIT
curriculum.
Refer to RIT
Course Equivalencies.
AP, IB, CLEP, transfer credit, College Now or other Dual Enrollment courses:
Credits showing as accepted by MCC may not be transferable. See Transfer
and Test Credit.
Contact RIT with questions.
