Program Description

The Minnesota Transfer Curriculum (MnTC) is the general education curriculum for the Minnesota State system. Completion of this defined transfer curriculum at one institution enables a student to receive credit for all lower division general education upon admission to any other Minnesota public institution.

Once completed, a notation of MnTC completion can be added to the official transcript. The MnTC is primarily intended for students who plan to transfer and complete a bachelor’s degree.  Students planning to complete the entire Minnesota Transfer Curriculum (MnTC) are recommended to consult the Associate of Arts Degree for more details. Many courses in Goals 1-6 will also fulfill requirements in Goals 7-10.

Special Instructions

Students who intend to transfer to a four-year school are encouraged to develop an appropriate academic plan (including both general education and major requirements) with their advisor or counselor.
