Transfer Articulation for
Rockland Community College and
Cornell’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. 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 only if they
have an appropriate academic preparation.
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 Rockland CC catalogue) will
better prepare students for Cornell.
