2+2 Program Update
Due to a desire to remove barriers for students and the college’s move
to direct admit to programs, the definition of MCC’s 2+2 programs has
changed. Instead of “2+2 Dual Admission Programs,” they are now
referred to as “2+2 Transfer Pathways.” Most students interested in
a 2+2 can now be accepted into the pathway without needing to meet specific
grade or course requirements. This way we can put the student on the correct
transfer path sooner, thus ensuring they take the optimal coursework for
transfer. The student will need to apply to the 4-year college as they
near completion of their MCC degree.
2+2 Transfer Pathways outline optimal courses for obtaining an Associate
degree from MCC and transferring to participating 4-year colleges. Each pathway
is tailored for a specific major at a specified 4-year institution. Unique
advising guides outline the courses that need to be successfully completed at
MCC as well as the suggested GPA for transfer. MCC students complete the 4-year
college application knowing they have a solid foundation for a smooth
transition to their next college or university as well as an Associate degree.
Guides should be regularly reviewed, along with the student’s DegreeWorks
Worksheet.
A small number of 2+2 Transfer Pathways are considered
“competitive” as there are specific entrance requirements, limited
seat availability, or other factors that can impact acceptance by the 4-year
college. These Competitive 2+2 Transfer Pathways are best suited for the
first-time, full-time matriculated student. Please note that international
students are not eligible for this option. The Competitive Transfer Pathways
include: RIT - Computer Science, Engineering Science, Engineering Technologies,
Packaging Science, Diagnostic Ultrasound Sonography; University of Rochester -
Engineering and Optics; St. John Fisher College - Nursing; and Roberts Wesleyan
College - Nursing.
Bachelor degree completion may take longer than four years depending on
prerequisite courses needed, course sequencing, and/or the curriculum of the
4-year program. While every effort is made to ensure the information in these
guides is accurate, students are advised to contact the transfer institution to
make sure the curriculum has not changed.
The guides can be found here
as well as on the LINKS section of DegreeWorks.
As they are being updated, if you do not see a guide for 2021-2022 look
