Minnesota Transfer Curriculum
Program Overview
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 institution.
