What are the transfer program options at Monroe Community College?

I’m exploring the transfer programs available at Monroe Community College. What fields of study have the most streamlined paths to four-year universities, and are there specific partnerships for certain majors?

Monroe Community College (MCC) has established numerous articulation agreements with four-year colleges and universities to provide a smooth transition for students interested in transferring. These are often called "2+2" programs, meaning you would spend 2 years at MCC and then 2 years at a four-year institution to complete your bachelor's degree.

The transfer programs usually fall under two categories. The Associate in Arts (A.A.) and Associate in Science (A.S.) degrees are designed as transfer programs, whereas the Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) programs are designed as career programs but can also transfer.

MCC's 2+2 agreements cover a wide range of disciplines. Some of the top transfer areas include Business Administration, Engineering Science, Nursing, Human Services, and Computer Science. These programs typically allow you to take your general education and introductory major-specific courses at MCC, and then transfer those credits directly to continue studying that major at a four-year college.

Specifically, MCC's Engineering Science program has established transfer agreements with Rochester Institute of Technology, SUNY Binghamton, and others. Business Administration has transfer agreements with The College at Brockport, SUNY Geneseo, and more. For students in the Nursing program, they can transition into the Bachelor of Science in Nursing programs at The College at Brockport, St. John Fisher, and Nazareth College.

It's important to note that these are just some examples of MCC's transfer partnerships. The specifics of each agreement can vary by program and by destination school. MCC's Transfer Services office provides advising to help you understand how to satisfy both MCC and your destination school's graduation requirements. They can help ensure the courses you take will count toward your bachelor's degree, and guide you through the process of applying and transferring to four-year colleges.
