The 60-credit Economics Transfer Pathway A.A. degree program offers you the powerful opportunity to complete an associate degree and transfer with junior-year status to a designated economics bachelor’s degree program at six Minnesota State universities.
As a student in this A.A. degree program, you will complete the Required Economics Pathway Curriculum (14 credits), General Electives (18 credits), Health/Physical Education coursework (2 credits), and Additional General Education Requirements (26 credits) for a credit total of 60.
If you plan on transferring to a non-Minnesota State university (including the University of Minnesota), we recommend that you to consult with an Inver Hills academic advisor or counselor along with someone at your intended transfer school to determine the transferability of courses in the Economics curriculum.
To guarantee admission to a Minnesota State university 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.
See how to schedule your classes each semester to complete your degree in two years.
