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

NOTE:
Students planning to complete the MS in Dietetics and Nutrition will be
most competitive if they obtain a B or higher in science courses.
It is strongly advised to complete CHMB 402 at RIT before transferring.
It is offered on-line and can be taken in the summer.
- Students will be required to complete two semesters of co-ops upon transferring
to RIT if an Associate's degree is achieved or they transfer at least 60
credits. If not, 3 co-ops will be required. These are typically completed
during the summer.
- With required course sequences and prerequisites, transfer students must
complete a minimum of 4 semesters at RIT. A Dietetic Internship is no longer
required for a student to sit for the Registered Dietitian Nutritionist
exam. Instead, students complete an accredited master’s program. RIT has
an accredited masters program and an accelerated track for students to
potentially complete the nutritional sciences BS and an MS degree in five
years. There is information about this option on the RIT Nutritional
Sciences website.
- Students cannot repeat core coursework more than one time. Students repeating
these courses more than once will have their grade point average recalculated
to include these courses in their overall GPA.
MCC ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
Advising is mandatory. Students must consult with an advisor prior to course
registration. The counsel and consent of the student’s advisor is important
in the final selection.
Students must complete at least one 200-level course to satisfy the degree
requirements.
Students must complete at least one SUNY General Education course that
fulfills a SUNY Critical Thinking and Reasoning Competency (CTRN).
The Liberal Arts A.S. (LA04) will be the degree student is audited against
and awarded from MCC.

as they will make the final determination of transfer credit.
