Metropolitan Community College to UMKC Transfer Major Map Bachelor of Arts in Sociology Quick Course Equivalency List Associate of Arts 2014 - 2015 UMKC General Education Overview Graduation Plan - Courses and Critical Benchmarks The following is a sample course of study. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that all program requirements are met. This guide is not a substitute for academic advisement. All students must develop an academic plan (which maps out all courses needed to graduate within your intended major/degree) with their academic counselor. This Transfer Major Map is based on the MCC Associate of Arts degree in place during the 2013 -2014 catalog year. UMKC recommends that students earn the certified 42 Hour Block or Associate of Arts Degree in order to satisfy the majority of UMKC’s General Education Core requirements. If students do not earn the certified 42 Hour Block or Associate’s Degree before starting at UMKC, they will be responsible for completing all remaining UMKC General Education Core requirements. Your path to graduation may vary slightly based on factors such as college credit you earned while in high school, transfer work from other institutions of higher learning and placement in Mathematics. You are responsible for checking prerequisites to any courses. Critical courses and minimum recommended grades provide feedback regarding major fit and help indicate likelihood of successful completion of chosen academic program and degree.
