Minnesota Transfer Curriculum Package

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 as designated in this flyer.  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 GPA of 2.0 in these courses to transfer this package.
