UMD Registrar - Minnesota Transfer Curriculum

Minnesota Transfer Curriculum (MnTC)

The Minnesota Transfer Curriculum is a collaborative effort among two- and four-year public colleges and universities in Minnesota 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 such work upon admission to any other participating institution. This transfer curriculum consists of ten areas of competency and completion of these is certified at the sending institution.

Students who transfer to UMD and have completed the MnTC elsewhere have met UMD liberal education requirements and are not required to complete additional liberal education course work.

If only some, but not all, competencies of the MnTC have been completed elsewhere, these competencies will satisfy equivalent competencies at UMD.

Students intending to transfer from UMD to public colleges and universities within Minnesota, and who wish to fulfill the MnTC must adhere to the following general requirements:

Complete at least 40 semester credits. These could include credits transferred to UMD from another institution.

Only a maximum of 10 credits of S-N courses apply to the MnTC.

Satisfy the ten specified competencies of the MnTC. All competencies must be complete at the time a student transfers out of UMD. Note: The MnTC competencies differ from the UMD liberal education categories. Completing UMD's liberal education program does not necessarily mean that the MnTC competencies are also complete.

To see if you have completed the 10 categories for the MnTC, follow these steps:
