Transfer Articulation for
Finger Lakes Community College and
Cornell University’s College of Human Ecology
The following courses represent the preferred foundation for a transfer student. Transfers need not take every class listed here,
but the closer they come to this list the better prepared they will be for work at Cornell, and the better their chances will be for
acceptance. All students must take English composition, math, lab sciences, and core courses related to their intended major.
Students will note that although A.A.S. degrees can provide the proper course work, A.S. and A.A. degrees generally provide a
more ideal transfer foundation. Human Ecology does accept transfers without associate degrees, but they must still have an
appropriate academic preparation.
Should a student be accepted to Cornell, the majority of the courses listed below will count as requirement credit. Courses taken
at Finger Lakes Community College other than those listed will be evaluated on a course by course basis. In most cases credit for
academic subjects will be applied as distribution requirement or electives. Cornell’s College of Human Ecology will usually
accept the maximum 60 credits from an A.A. or A.S. degree towards the 120 required for the bachelor’s degree, however some
(particularly the design) majors may require more than 60 credits to be taken at Cornell.
Note: * Transfer students must have completed 4 units of English, 3 units of math, biology, plus either chemistry or
physics, while in high school or college. These courses cannot count for both college credit AND high school
graduation requirements.
Taking additional courses with "writing intensive" designations (as found in the Finger Lakes CC catalogue) will better
prepare students for Cornell.

NOTE: Studio placement will be determined by evaluating previous coursework and the portfolio. In most cases the Interior
Design program will require at least 3 years at Cornell. If no specific Interior Design courses are taken, it would take 4 additional
years to graduate from this particular program. For this major option we therefore suggest that students apply to Cornell as early
in their academic career as possible.
