2+2 Transfer Pathways vs. Transfer Agreements
Different kinds of transfer agreements exist between MCC and four-year
colleges. Some are general articulations that guarantee junior standing if a
student earns an AS or AA degree, some are adv
ising guides, and others like the 2+2 Transfer Pathway Advising
Guides outline specific courses for the MCC degree as well as optimal
transfer. MCC has transfer agreements with numerous four-year
colleges & universities. Students need to apply to the four-year as they
are completing their studies at MCC no matter what type of transfer agreement
they are following.
What is a 2+2 Transfer Pathway?
2+2 Transfer Pathways outline optimal courses for obtaining an Associate degree
from MCC and transferring to participating 4-year institutions. Each advising
guide is tailored for a specific major at a specified 4-year institution with
the advised GPA noted. Students apply to the 4-year college upon completion of
their MCC degree knowing they have a solid foundation for a smooth transfer.
Bachelor degree completion may take longer than four years depending on
prerequisite courses needed, course sequencing, and/or curriculum of the 4-year
college program. Some guides are listed as “2+3” because they
are 5-year programs. It is acceptable to take longer than two years at MCC to
complete needed coursework. With the exception of the "Competitive
2+2s," students can attend full or part-time. Some courses may not be
required for the MCC degree; this may have financial aid implications. 2+2
guides should be regularly reviewed along with your Degree Works Worksheet as
updates do occur.
