Transfer Pathway Guides

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.

Make sure to view Major Listing Sheet tab above for second major/concentration courses.* As of Fall 2023, all incoming transfer students to Nazareth with an Associate Degree are exempt from the core requirements. The courses listed below for the Naz core can still be taken, however, the main priority is obtaining a degree before transferring and completing courses needed for your major.
