That said most SUNY Orange A.A. and A.S. programs are compatible with MSMC majors. The full list of required coursework for each major is published in the Undergraduate Catalog. This articulation bulletin should be used conjointly with the catalog. Transferring Credits to MSMC In order for SUNY Orange credits to transfer to MSMC, the student must arrange for official transcripts of all college-level work to be sent to MSMC. Only credits applicable at MSMC will be accepted in transfer. In general, the following protocols apply with respect to transfer students from community colleges: --A maximum of up to 66 credits are accepted from two year institutions. --Credits equivalent to the community college's requirements for the A.A. or A.S. degree (to a maximum of 66 credits) will be accepted only for grades of C or better. Any grade lower than C will not be accepted for any part of the maximum award, but may be applied to fill out the 60-credit minimum for credits accepted for transfer for students entering with an A.A. or A.S. Please note: a C+ is required in courses that meet certification requirements. For further information about the transferability of credits from community colleges, consult the MSMC Undergraduate Catalog. Other Viable Academic Experiences for Transfer Service learning, independent study and special topics courses taken at SUNY Orange may not be taken for transfer or counted toward the major at MSMC. In these cases, MSMC relies upon its division chairpersons in the content area in which these academic experiences fall to make the determination of whether or not any of these options is transferable. Comprehensiveness of this Articulation Bulletin This bulletin does not substitute for the MSMC Undergraduate Catalog. This bulletin is intended only as a guide and handbook for the academic advisor and the student considering transfer to MSMC. It contains only (a) those SUNY Orange courses for which there are equivalent courses at MSMC or (b) those courses for which (while there is no exact equivalent) credit may be awarded because the subject matter meets and subscribes to the general expectations and understanding of what constitutes a liberal arts and sciences course at MSMC. This latter type of course usually transfers into MSMC as either a general or blanket elective or, if appropriate to the major field, as an elective in the major. However, this is determined in a transcript review by MSMC's Registrar Office. Requirements for the Baccalaureate Degree --A minimum of 120 semester hours, i.e., the total of the course credits, is required to earn the bachelor's degree at MSMC. Among the 120 semester hours, a minimum of 90 credits must be in the liberal arts and sciences to qualify for the Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree. For a Bachelor of Science (B.S.), a minimum of 60 credits of the 120 semester hours must be in the liberal arts and sciences. For the Page 4 of 13 Articulation Agreement OCCC and MSMC BA in Criminology 1/19/2016 Bachelor of Science degree for the education curriculum, a minimum of 60-89 of the 129 semester hours must be in the liberal arts and sciences. For the Bachelor of Science for the nursing curriculum, a minimum of 60 of the 120 semester hours will be in the liberal arts and sciences. --To earn a B.A. or B.S. degree from Mount Saint Mary College, a minimum of 30 credits must be completed at MSMC, including at least 12 upper-level credits (3000- or 4000-level) in the student's major. --A minimum grade point average of 2.0 (C grade) is required to earn a Bachelor's degree at MSMC. Note: Subject to the above stipulations, passing grades achieved at other institutions are transferable to MSMC; however, grades obtained at the other institutions are indicated on the official transcript as "T" (Transfer) with the letter grade earned for the transfer course (i.e.: "TA") and are not factored into the student's cumulative average at MSMC. --Students must also complete a minimum of 39-42 credits in selected discipline areas in General Education to qualify for a B.A. or B.S. degree. These requirements are detailed below. All of these areas are available to SUNY Orange, and thus it is possible for students in some degree programs to fulfill these requirements before arriving at MSMC, if they make judicious use of their SUNY Orange program elective and General Education credits. Recommendations for completing these requirements are included in the programs published here. --This agreement documents how SUNY Orange students may fulfill MSMC's General Education requirements and degree requirements. Additional Liberal Arts electives that may be required to make up the 120 credits required for graduation are not enumerated; transfer students should consult their advisors about fulfilling these elective requirements. General Education Curriculum Summary Division Credits Courses Arts and Letters (12 required - 6 must be in English; 3 ENG 1010 (required) at least 3 must be in another area) 3 ENG 1020 (required) 0-3 ENG, CMA, FMS 3-6 ART, MUS, THR, LANG Natural Science and Mathematics (9 credits - must include a 3-6 MTH mathematics and a laboratory 3-6 AST, BIO, CHM, ERS, PHY, MST, SCI science course) Social Sciences (9 credits - 3 must be in history; 3-6 HIS must include courses from two 3-6 ANT, ECO, GEO, POS, PSY, SOC, CRI 1110 areas) Philosophy and Religion (9 credits - 3 must be in philosphy; 3-6 PHL Page 5 of 13 Articulation Agreement OCCC and MSMC BA in Criminology 1/19/2016 3 must be in religion; other 3 credits 3-6 REL can be in either area) Completion of Computer Literacy requirement: see below In addition, demonstration of minimum computer literacy is a requirement for all degree-seeking students. MSMC recommends that this requirement be completed within the first two years of study for traditional students and in the first year at MSMC for transfer students. Computer literacy can be satisfied by: Successful completion of CIT 1052 Computer Literacy (3 cr.) Successful completion of CIT 1002 Online Computer Competency (3 cr.) Successful passage of the college's Computer Literacy Test.* Successful completion of MSMC MTH 1015 Investigating Contemporary Issues Using Mathematics and Technology (3 cr.) * Note - the Computer Literacy Test may be taken only once. Students who do not pass this exam must satisfy the computer literacy requirement with one of the courses listed above. SUNY Orange students may satisfy this requirement by completing CIT 100 Computer Literacy. SUNY Orange BUS 161 Computer Applications for Business is NOT equivalent to MSMC Computer Literacy Requirement. Time Required to Complete MSMC degree Most SUNY Orange transfers can expect to complete their MSMC degree in two years (4 semesters) of full-time study (15-16 credits per term); however, if a complete change of discipline or major is made, it may take longer to complete the degree. Additional semester(s) of study may be required for students who are majoring in biology, chemistry and other select fields and also pursuing childhood or adolescence certifications. Students who wish to graduate at the end of the two additional years at MSMC after SUNY Orange, but who are behind in credit count, can always opt for summer courses to expedite their progress toward the degree. Under certain conditions, Juniors, and Seniors are allowed to take one accelerated course per semester; see the MSMC College Catalog for more information. Availability of Financial Aid and Finances While the cost of your education will be higher at Mount Saint Mary College than at your community college, MSMC tuition is moderately priced in comparison to other private, four year colleges. Grants and low interest loans provide ways to bridge the gap between two year and four year college costs. Eligible transfers may receive Pell grants and Supplemental Education Opportunity Grants (SEOG). Also available for students who qualify are federal student loans with very low rates of interest and a deferred repayment schedule, e.g. Stafford Loans. Students may also apply for Guaranteed Student loans insured by The State of New York and reinsured by the Federal Government. In addition, the College's work study program, depending upon need and availability of funds, provides jobs for students who need financial aid. Relevant information concerning financial aid is forwarded to the transfer student at the time of acceptance.
