Total Credits: 60

Major Number: 5917
CIP Code: 24.0101

Program Description

The Mathematics Transfer Pathway AA offers students a powerful option: the opportunity to complete an Associate of Arts degree with course credits that directly transfer to designated Mathematics bachelor’s degree programs at Minnesota State universities. The curriculum has been specifically designed so that students completing this pathway degree and transferring to one of the seven Minnesota State universities enter the university with junior-year status. All courses in the Transfer Pathway associate degree will directly transfer and apply to the designated bachelor’s degree programs in a related field.

Minnesota State universities include:  Bemidji State University; Metropolitan State University; Minnesota State University, Mankato; Minnesota State University Moorhead; Southwest Minnesota State University; St. Cloud State University; and Winona State University.

Program Prerequisites

None

Special Instructions

Students planning to transfer to a university outside of the Minnesota State system are advised to consult with their intended transfer institution as early as possible to determine transferability of the courses in this Transfer Pathway degree.

Program Note

The pathway will be most effective if students can identify the four-year institution where they will complete their degree.  Electives and MnTC courses should be selected to meet the specific program requirements of the institution where the student will earn their final degree. For example, some degree programs require a computer programming course or a calculus-based physics course, and some require a minor in specific areas in addition to the major degree.
