Program Note

If transferring to earn a bachelor’s degree, completing the full 40 credit MnTC is highly recommended.  For Career Electives, include additional MnTC courses in the 13 credits and/or 4 credits of MnTC electives. Select courses based on content courses in teaching field of interest or educational/career goal.  Review your MnTC DARS and contact your advisor/counselor for required courses.  Consult with an advisor at your intended transfer school for course recommendations. 

Individuals who have been arrested, charged or convicted of any criminal offense should investigate the impact that the arrest, charge or conviction may have on their chances of employment in the field they intend to study or on their chances to obtain federal, state and other higher education financial aid.

Transfer, Articulation Agreements, and Partnerships

See the Century College website for information regarding transfer.
This degree program is designed for both employment preparation and transfer. Some of the 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. Articulation agreements exit with  Concordia University and College of St. Scholastica.
