Location(s): On-Campus


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Programs by Awards

The Mathematics Transfer Pathway A.A. offers students a powerful option: the opportunity to complete an Associate of Arts degree whose course credits will directly transfer to designated mathematics bachelor’s degree programs at Minnesota State universities. The entire curriculum has been carefully designed to guarantee junior-year status to students who have been admitted to one of the seven Minnesota State universities. There, students can complete their bachelor’s degree by earning 60 additional credits.

The Mathematics Pathway consists of the Required Pathway Curriculum, the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum (MnTC), the Health and Physical Fitness Requirement, and any electives to bring your credit total to 60 credits.

*Universities within the Minnesota State system include Bemidji State University; Metropolitan State University; Minnesota State University, Mankato; Minnesota State University, Moorhead; Southwest Minnesota State University; St. Cloud State University; and Winona State University.

Transfer Pathways

With this transfer pathway, you will be able to transfer to the following majors at:

Bemidji State University
Mathematics - BS

Metropolitan State University
Industrial & Applied Mathematics - BS

Minnesota State University, Mankato
Mathematics - BS

Minnesota State University, Moorhead
Mathematics - BA, BS

Southwest Minnesota State University
Mathematics - BA

St Cloud State University

To guarantee admission to a Minnesota State University’s designated bachelor’s program in your major, you must first meet the admitting institution’s minimum transfer GPA and then the admission to major GPA.

Universities accepting the transfer pathway are only required to accept all credits if the entire Associate of Science is completed. If the degree is not completed in its entirety, universities will do a course by course evaluation.

Additional Transfer Pathway agreements have been established by various MN private colleges. Visit mnprivatecolleges.org/transfer for the most up to date information.
