Minnesota Transfer Curriculum Package
The Minnesota Transfer Curriculum is the means by which a student transfers a complete package of lower division general education from one MnSCU institution to another. At Minnesota State College – Southeast Technical this is accomplished by a minimum of 40 credits with course requirements in each of the 10 goal areas as designated below. If a course is eligible for multiple goals, the additional goal(s) is listed in parenthesis, however, credits for any course may count only once towards the minimum 40 credits. Students must maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 in these courses to transfer this package. An asterisk (*) indicates courses available online as well as on campus.
