The Minnesota Transfer Curriculum (MnTC) is a series of courses (40 credits) that comprise a package of general education requirements that, as a package, will satisfy the general education requirements for the first two years of college at all Minnesota public colleges and universities. Transfer of credits from one institution to another has in the past often been a difficult one, with the receiving institution in full control of what is and what is not accepted from the original institution. The Minnesota Transfer Curriculum is a transfer agreement that eliminates transfer difficulties for 正规赌博十大网站 students: the successfully completed MnTC will automatically transfer in its entirety.
Note that the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum includes 40 general education credits; in itself the MnTC is not a degree. The AAS, AS, AFA, and AA degrees require a total of 60 (or more) credits. All college level courses in which a student has received a grade of A, B, C, D or P/S will be considered for transfer into 正规赌博十大网站. Grades of A through D transfer for the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum (MnTC). Completion of the 40 credit MnTC requires a cumulative 2.0 GPA. While D grades transfer, some specialized/occupational/technical programs require courses to have a grade of C or higher to fulfill requirements. No F grade courses will be accepted. Transfer course grades will not be used in computing a student’s GPA at 正规赌博十大网站 except for some special programs that require the calculation of GPA for application/admission to the program, such as Nursing. Only earned transfer credits (not grade point credits or grade points) will be recorded on the official 正规赌博十大网站 transcript.
Keep in mind also that many courses not in the MnTC may still transfer. Students will need to have these courses evaluated by their next institution at the time of application to that institution. For such courses, the receiving institution determines what is and what is not
accepted from 正规赌博十大网站 in transfer.
The MnTC commits public colleges and universities in Minnesota to a broad foundation that integrates a body of knowledge and skills with study of contemporary concerns that are essential in meeting the challenges of the twenty-first century. The Minnesota Transfer Curriculum emphasizes our common membership in the human community, personal responsibility for intellectual lifelong learning, and an awareness that we live in a diverse world. The curriculum encourages diverse ways of knowing—that is, factual content, theories and methods, and creative models in a broad spectrum of integration, application, and communication.
The ten areas of emphasis or goals in the MnTC are listed below, along with a two-number “code” for each:
- Goal 1: Written and Oral Communication (01)
- Goal 2: Critical Thinking is met when student has completed the 40 credits of the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum.
- Goal 3: Natural Science (03)
- Goal 4: Mathematics/Logical Reasoning (04)
- Goal 5: History and the Social and Behavioral Sciences (05)
- Goal 6: Humanities – the Arts, Literature and Philosophy (06)
- Goal 7: Human Diversity (07)
- Goal 8: Global Perspectives (08)
- Goal 9: Ethical and Civic Responsibility (09)
- Goal 10: People and the Environment (10)
When you examine a course and its description in this catalog, these codes will help you determine which of the ten goals is/are met by that course. If you do not see one of the codes, the course is not part of the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum. The codes are shown in bold in the following example:
BIOL 1100 Environmental Biology (MnTC 03, 10)
3 credits: 2 hours lecture/week, 2 hours lab/week
This is a one-semester course that introduces students to applied aspects of environmental science. It provides students with a broad overview of the concepts of ecology, systems and interrelationships among organisms and their physical environment, and current issues in environmental science. Students will examine humans’ role in the natural world and the impact of the growth of the human population and the increase in humans’ technological ability to make changes in the world. Students will be encouraged to explore societal, political, economic and personal value systems regarding environmental issues. (Prerequisites: None).
[This course would meet MNTC goals for Critical Thinking, Natural Sciences, and People and the Environment]
The content below provides detailed listings of 正规赌博十大网站 courses meeting the specific requirements of each goal area within the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum (Goal Areas 1 through 10).
Goal 1: Communication
Minimum: 11 Credits including
- ENGL 1117, Reading and Writing Critically I, 4 cr
- ENGL 1118, Reading and Writing Critically II, 4 cr
- COMM 1114, Fundamentals of Public Speaking OR COMM 1130, Interpersonal Communication, 3 cr
Objective: To develop writers and speakers who use the English language effectively and who read, write, speak, and listen critically. As a base, all students should complete introductory communication requirements early in their collegiate studies. Writing competency is an ongoing process to be reinforced through writing-intensive courses and writing across the curriculum. Speaking and listening skills need reinforcement through multiple opportunities for interpersonal communication, public speaking, and discussion.
Student Competencies for Goal 1:
- Construct logical and coherent arguments.
- Select appropriate communication choices for specific audiences.
- Employ syntax and usage appropriate to academic disciplines and the professional world.
- Use authority, point-of-view, and individual voice and style in their writing and speaking.
- Locate, evaluate, and synthesize in a responsible manner material from diverse sources and points of view.
- Participate effectively in groups with emphasis on listening, critical and reflective thinking, and responding.
- Understand/demonstrate the writing and speaking processes through invention, organization, drafting, revision, editing and presentation.

Goal 2: Critical Thinking
The Critical Thinking goal is met when the student has completed the 40 credits of the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum.
Goal 3: Natural Science
Minimum: 6 Credits with a minimum of two courses with a lab from two different areas that meet MnTC Goal 3
Objective: To improve students’ understanding of natural science principles and of the methods of scientific inquiry, i.e., the ways in which scientists investigate natural science phenomena. As a basis for lifelong learning, students need to know the vocabulary of science and to realize that while a set of principles has been developed through the work of previous scientists, ongoing scientific inquiry and new knowledge will bring changes in some of the ways scientists view the world. By studying the problems that engage today’s scientists, students learn to appreciate the importance of science in their lives and to understand the value of a scientific perspective. Students should be encouraged to study both the biological and physical sciences.
Student Competencies for Goal 3:
- Demonstrate understanding of scientific theories.
- Communicate their experimental findings, analyses, and interpretations both orally and in writing.
- Evaluate societal issues from a natural science perspective, ask questions about the evidence presented, and make informed judgments about science-related topics and policies.
- Formulate and test hypotheses by performing laboratory, simulation, or field experiments in at least two of the natural science disciplines. One of these experimental components should develop, in greater depth, students’ laboratory experience in the collection of data, its statistical and graphical analysis, and an appreciation of its sources of error and uncertainty.
