Transferability MCC graduates are guaranteed admission to the Connecticut State Universities. The transfer compact between MCC and the Connecticut State Universities provides special opportunities for students to complete an associate degree in a program designed for transfer. Incoming MCC students or students with up to 15 transferable credits at MCC may enroll in the UConn Guaranteed Admission Program (GAP). A 3.0 minimum cumulative grade point average, (3.3 for the School of Business) and an associate degree in Liberal Arts is required in order to qualify under the terms of this agreement. Upon completion of an associate degree, students may then go on to UConn and major in one of more than 50 majors offered in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, College of Agriculture and Natural Resources or School of Business. MCC graduates have successfully transferred to over 100 public and private universities, both in Connecticut and throughout the country. CSCU Transfer Ticket Programs Connecticut’s twelve community colleges, four state universities and Charter Oak State College have partnered to offer a low-cost pathway to a bachelor’s degree. Students pursuing a Transfer Ticket associate degree will be paired with an academic advisor at each institution and know exactly which courses to take. The degrees can be attained without incurring extra expense or requiring extra credits. After completing a Transfer Ticket associate degree, students can transfer to any Connecticut state university - as a junior - confident that they have only half of the degree requirements remaining in their major.
