University Transfer Program
MCC offers the University Transfer Program for students who plan to transfer to a four-year institution. The University Transfer Program is parallel to the courses taken by freshmen and sophomores at universities and senior colleges. Students who plan to continue their studies at a university should secure a catalog from that school so that their schedules can be formatted to parallel the senior institution’s curriculum.
The University Transfer Associate in Arts degree consists of a series of core courses and a selection of transferable courses based on the student’s desired major. Generally, one-half of the hours required for a bachelor’s degree may be transferred from a community college to apply to a degree at a senior institution.
While there are no programs designed for transfer to senior institutions that require a minimum ACT score for admission, the following is a guide for placement in most general education courses at MCC:
- Attain a 17 composite score on the ACT (some courses require higher for placement purposes); or
- Score 70 or higher on the ACCUPLACER Reading Section; or
- Earn a “C” or above in Intermediate English and Reading (ENG 0124); or
- Complete 15 semester hours with a “C” average or above at an accredited college or university. Developmental courses do not satisfy this requirement.

*University Transfer students who plan to transfer to a public institution of higher
learning in Mississippi are encouraged to use the MS Articulation and Transfer Tool
(MATT) website to determine what courses are needed for their major. MATT is located
at matttransfertool.com. Students MUST consult the current catalog of the institution to which they intend
to transfer for specific requirements. No baccalaureate degrees are awarded at Meridian
Community College.
