Program Note

Credit for ECON 1021  will be counted only once in the overall credit total. If ECON 1021 is selected, it will fulfill Career/Occupational and MnTC Goal 5 requirements. However, it will be necessary to complete three additional college-level credits to meet the overall total credit requirement. See your advisor or counselor for assistance in selecting courses.

Transfer, Articulation Agreements, and Partnerships

See the Century College website for information regarding transfer. This program is intended primarily for employment preparation rather than transfer to a four-year institution. Some courses may not transfer to a number of four-year colleges. If you are considering the possibility of transfer, you may wish to talk with your advisor, counselor, or program instructor before registering to discuss your goals, look at programs designed for transfer, and develop a plan.
