References to the
Minnesota General
Education Transfer
Curriculum (MnTC)
Throughout the following curriculum
listings, notations such as “MnTC Goal 5
- History/Behavioral and Social Sciences”
are used in place of specific course
numbers. These notations refer to the
goals of the Minnesota General
Education Transfer Curriculum found in
this catalog on pages 33-35. These goal
areas list the specific courses from
which students may choose to fulfill the
requirements of the program.
For example, if a program requires a
nonspecified, three-credit course in
humanities, the curriculum list would
include “Goal 6 - Humanities and Fine
Arts: 3 credits.” This means that any
three-credit course listed under Goal 6
of the Minnesota General Education
Transfer Curriculum could be used to
fulfill that requirement.
Students should be aware that it may
be necessary to select additional MnTC
credits beyond the minimum required in
each goal area to reach the total MnTC/
General Education credits required for
their degree or program.
See the Counseling Center or college
website for any changes or additions to
the MnTC Course List.
