NOTES
This program qualifies for the MassTransfer STEM block, which guarantees credit transfer to Massachusetts state colleges and universities. MassTransfer grants students automatic acceptance to certain Massachusetts state colleges and universities by achieving the minimum grade point average and the HCC degree. Students who enroll in programs with the 28-credit MassTransfer STEM block will need to complete the associate’s degree in order to waive the general education requirements at a Massachusetts State University. In addition to the completion of the associate’s degree and the STEM block at HCC, students will need to complete an additional 12 credits in general education at the four-year college. If a student does not complete the associate’s degree prior to transferring, it is recommended that they complete the 34-credit MassTransfer block. Students should meet with Mark Broadbent, Coordinator of Transfer Affairs, to discuss their transfer plans.
Depending on course selection, 50% of this program can be completed online. Go to Online Learning for more information.
