Minnesota State Transfer Curriculum (MnTC) to the ¾«Æ·Â鶹 Plan
Are you a prospective on-campus transfer student who completed ? We’ve got good news: ¾«Æ·Â鶹 currently accepts credits from the MnTC, which can be used to fulfill requirements for the ¾«Æ·Â鶹 Plan, which is ¾«Æ·Â鶹's general education curriculum. Both work hand in hand to provide you with an excellent general education.
What is the ¾«Æ·Â鶹 Plan?
The ¾«Æ·Â鶹 Plan is the foundation of ¾«Æ·Â鶹’s rigorous liberal arts education. This nationally recognized general education program provides students with a set of flexible, goal-oriented skills and experiences tied directly to graduation requirements.
Juniors and seniors get the opportunity to apply their learning in practical ways to the larger community, through independent studies, internships, and apprenticeships. The ¾«Æ·Â鶹 Plan offers anyone seeking a truly interdisciplinary experience a path toward further learning, discovery, and skill enhancement.
For more detailed information on the ¾«Æ·Â鶹 Plan’s graduation requirements, see our .
Which credits will transfer from the MnTC?
Students who complete the MnTC with a minimum course grade of C- will automatically satisfy at least 10 of the 19–20 ¾«Æ·Â鶹 Plan requirements, leaving nine or ten to finish at ¾«Æ·Â鶹.
