Minnesota Transfer Curriculum
The Minnesota Transfer Curriculum was created
by mutual agreement of Minnesota's public higher education institutions to aid in transfer among all public colleges and universities in the state. Students completing the specified transfer curriculum at one
Minnesota institution will be deemed to have satisfied the general education
requirements of the latter institution.
Students who transfer to MSUM with a partially completed Minnesota Transfer Curriculum are not required to repeat any goal areas they have already fulfilled, but must complete the remaining requirements of MSUM's Dragon Core general education curriculum. A 2.0 Minnesota Transfer Curriculum (MnTC) GPA is required for recognition of a student's completion of the entire Minnesota Transfer Curriculum with or without completing an associate degree.
In order to complete the MSUM transfer curriculum, a student must complete the following requirements:
- A 2.0 Minnesota Transfer Curriculum (MnTC) GPA is required for recognition of a student's completion of the entire Minnesota Transfer Curriculum with or without completing an associate degree.
- At least three courses in Goal areas 3-7 must be selected from those designated with an (M) following the course title.
- A minimum of 14 courses (42 semester credits) must be completed in the following goal areas.
