Note 1: This equivalency guide is for the 2007-2008 catalog of Minnesota State University, Mankato (MSU) and the 2007-2008 catalog of Bethany Lutheran College.
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 2007-2008 MSU catalog for the specific program requirements. Our catalog is available online at http://www.mnsu.edu/bulletins/undergraduate/
Note 3: Students transferring with an Associate in Arts Degree will satisfy the MSU general education requirements.
Note 4: Students transferring without a degree will have their already completed general education coursework, where appropriate, applied to the MSU general education, but will have to complete the remainder of the MSU general education requirements.
Note 5: 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 6: 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 7: Courses do not have a direct equivalent course at MSU, but will be used in the MnTC goal noted in the right column.
Note 8: Science courses equated to MnTC Area 3A satisfy the lab science requirement. Courses equated to MnTC Area 3B meet the non-lab science requirement.
Note 9: These courses are technical in nature and limited to 16 semester (24 quarter) of transfer credits.
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
