Transfer of MnTC and Other Courses

Individual courses from other Minnesota State colleges and from the University of Minnesota transfer to Inver Hills into the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum. Such courses transfer according to the MnTC goal areas designated by the other schools. However, there is no guarantee that courses from private and non-Minnesota colleges will satisfy MnTC goals, even if the courses are transferable as electives. Such courses are evaluated on an individual basis.

Technology and Information Resources

As you complete the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum, you will need to use computers, libraries and other appropriate technology and information resources that play an increasingly important role in our personal, educational and work lives. If you don't have experience with technology and information resources, you should consult with a counselor or advisor for assistance registering for appropriate courses.
