The Transfer Pathway degree programs offer students a powerful option:
The opportunity to complete an associate degree with course credits that directly transfer to designated bachelor’s degree programs at Minnesota State universities.
This curriculum has been specifically designed so that students completing this pathway degree and transferring to one of the 7 Minnesota State universities enter the university with junior-year status. All courses in the Transfer Pathway associate degree will directly transfer and apply to the designated bachelor’s degree programs in a related field.
