Note 6: Some majors and minors at MSU require specific general education courses. Please review the MSU catalog to determine the appropriate general education requirements for your selected major.
Note 7: Courses noted as elective credit will not satisfy general education or major or minor requirements, but will transfer and count toward the total credits needed for graduation.
Note 8: "No credit" courses will not transfer.
Note 9: Courses do not have a direct equivalent course at MSU, but will be used in the MnTC goal noted in the right column.
Note 10: Science courses equated to MnTC Area 3A satisfy the lab science requirement. Courses equated to MnTC Area 3B meet the non-lab science requirement.
