MINNESOTA STATE UNIVERSITY, MANKATO

Table of Semester Course Equivalents for 
NORTH HENNEPIN COMMUNITY COLLEGE

Note 1: This equivalency guide is for the 2003-2004 catalog for Minnesota State University, Mankato (MSU) and the 2002-2004 catalog of North Hennepin.
Note 2: This equivalency table is a general guide to transfer of coursework to MSU. It is recommended that students refer to a copy of the 2003-2004 MSU catalog for the specific program requirements. Our catalog is available online at http://www.mnsu.edu/dept/ugbull
Note 3: Students transferring with an Associate in Arts Degree or a completed Minnesota Transfer Curriculum (MnTC) will satisfy the MSU general education requirements.
Note 4: Students transferring with an Associate in Science or an Associate in Applied Science and with less than a completed MnTC will have to complete additional general education requirements.
Note 5: Students transferring without a degree or a completed MnTC will have their already completed general education coursework applied to the MSU general education, but will have to complete the remainder of the MSU general education requirements.
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.
Any questions pertaining to this guide or to other transfer issues may be directed to your community college transfer specialist or counselor. Questions may also be directed to the MSU Admissions Office. Phone: 507-389-1822 or toll-free: 800-722-0544 or by email to transfer@mnsu.edu
