The Minnesota Transfer Curriculum enables you to complete an approved MnTC course at one of the 34 Minnesota State Colleges and Universities (MnSCU) and at the University of Minnesota. You can then easily transfer the course credit to any other MnSCU institution. Southeast Technical is a MnSCU institution.
MnSCU is a system of all two and four-year public colleges and universities in Minnesota. It includes state technical colleges, community colleges and universities.
MnTC allows you to take approved general education requirements (gen eds) and ensures that you will not have to retake them upon transferring to other MnSCU institutions or the University of Minnesota. This will maximize other opportunities for you and help you graduate on time.
That puts you one step closer to completing your gen eds at Southeast Technical. These courses will easily transfer and satisfy part or all of your gen ed requirements.
For the most updated list of courses, please visit the Programs section of this Web site. These courses are also highlighted in the course schedule.
General education is an essential component of your education. The courses are designed to enhance and support your technical studies. The skills you learn in your gen eds give you a foundation for lifelong learning.
No, you can attend Southeast Technical on a part-time or full-time basis while completing MnTC courses.
