See Century College Policy 3.17.0.1

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.
