Minnesota Transfer Curriculum

What is the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum?

Minnesota public colleges and universities work together to make transferring between schools as easy as possible. To do this, we use a program called the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum (MnTC).

The MnTC is a set of 10 goal areas that cover a variety of subjects. Combined, they fulfill the general education requirements for all public institutions in Minnesota. Each school designates its courses within the goal areas.

What Are the Requirements?

The MnTC requires you to:

  • Complete requirements in each of the 10 goal areas
  • Earn at least 40 credits from MnTC courses
  • Achieve a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher

The MnTC notation is automatically applied to your transcript after meeting these requirements. You can then seamlessly transfer your general education credits to any other state school. Some regional public and private colleges and universities also accept the MnTC.

Which Courses Meet the Goals?

See the MnTC 2024-2025 Program Guide for a list of Normandale Goal Area courses, or use the Advanced Search in e-Services Courses & Registration.
