The Minnesota Transfer
Curriculum is the result of a collaborative effort by
all of the two-and four-year public colleges and universities
in Minnesota to define a common philosophy toward general
education. The goal of this effort is to help students
transfer their work in general education. Completion of
a defined transfer curriculum at one institution enables
a student to receive credit for all lower-division general
education upon admission to any other MnSCU institution.
The University of Minnesota also
recognizes the MnTC as fulfilling the lower division general
education component of its degree programs; in addition,
students in all degree programs must complete a writing
intensive set of requirements.
Students who complete the transfer curriculum are
certified in ten goal areas by faculty at the sending
institution. The Minnesota Transfer Curriculum provides
details about goal competencies.
The following is a SAMPLE of the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum
with links to descriptions for each of the 10 goal areas
and competencies.
Minnesota Transfer Curriculum
(SAMPLE)
Beginning January 1,
2002, all Minnesota Transfer Curriculum Courses, goals,
and completed MnTC (40 credits) offered by MnSCU institutions
must transfer within MnSCU in to the goal areas as designated
by original sending institution. Each MnSCU college
and university certifies its own courses in the MnTC.
