Minnesota Transfer Curriculum
The
Minnesota Transfer Curriculum was created
by mutual agreement of the University of Minnesota, the Minnesota State
Universities, the Minnesota Community Colleges, and the Minnesota Technical
Colleges. Students completing the specified transfer curriculum at one
Minnesota institution will be deemed to have satisfied the general education
requirements of the latter institution.
This curriculum is designed for students who wish to transfer from MSUM to
another Minnesota institution which accepts the MnTC. As MSUM transitions
from the Liberal Studies Program to the Dragon Core general education
program the transfer curriculum will include courses from both programs.
Courses from the Liberal Studies Program will not be listed in the transfer
curriculum after Summer 2009.
In order to complete the MSUM transfer curriculum, a student must complete the following requirements, based upon ten area of emphasis. Courses may be applied in more than one goal area of the Transfer Curriculum; however, the credits for any course may count only once towards the total requirement. PLEASE NOTE: completing the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum does not guarantee requirements for the major have been met. Check the Bulletin for degree requirements.
NOTE: The course list is updated periodically. Dragon Core (DC) Courses are in italic
