What is the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum (MnTC)?
The Minnesota Transfer Curriculum (MnTC) is a framework of general education courses that allows students to seamlessly transfer credits between Minnesota’s public two-year colleges and four-year universities.
Key things to know:
-
Purpose: The MnTC is designed to ensure high-quality general education and smooth progress toward a bachelor’s degree, no matter where you begin your education in Minnesota.
-
Goal Areas: It consists of ten goal areas focused on core liberal arts and sciences competencies. Completing all goal areas fulfills the first two years of general education at any Minnesota public college or university.
-
Private Colleges: Some private colleges and universities in Minnesota may also accept the MnTC, but not all—so check with your intended transfer school.
-
AA Degree Connection: The MnTC is closely tied to the Associate in Arts (AA) degree, which includes the full MnTC package.
-
Tracking Progress: You can track your progress toward completing MnTC goals by viewing your Degree Audit Report (DARS) in eServices:
