Transfer Pathway Guides
This Advising Guide is under review by the partner school. Changes TBA if needed.
2+2 with Rochester Institute of Technology
B.S. Imaging Science (OT30 - Competitive)
MCC Degree Awarded:
Optical Systems Technology A.A.S. (OT01)
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.
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 enrollment (12
or more credit hours each semester) is required. Enrollment in this Competitive
Transfer Pathway, along with closely following the guide, increases the
likelihood of acceptance by the 4-year institution. Please note that student
contact information will be shared with the 4-year institution. Students
will need to complete a transfer application, typically done prior to the
start of their last semester at MCC.
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.

* Choose
RIT Perspective Courses from
this list that also satisfy the MCC requirement. You will need one course
for each Perspective area.
For example,
SOC 101 = RIT Social Perspective and SUNY Social Science
ENG 105 = RIT Artistic Perspective and SUNY Humanities
Foreign Language course = RIT Global Perspective and SUNY Foreign Language

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. |
