Minnesota Transfer Curriculum FAQs
Below are the frequently asked questions regarding Minnesota Transfer Curriculum at Southeast Technical. If you are a
student transferring to Southeast Technical, be sure to review our Transfer Policies and Procedures. If, however, you are
transferring from Southeast Technical, be sure to review the Articulated Transfer Agreements.
What is the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum (MnTC)?
The Minnesota Transfer Curriculum enables you to complete an approved MnTC course at one of the 32 Minnesota State
Colleges and Universities (MnSCU) and at the University of Minnesota. You can then easily transfer the course credit to
any other MnSCU institution. Southeast Technical is a MnSCU institution.
What is Minnesota State Colleges and Universities (MnSCU)?
MnSCU is a system of all two and four-year public colleges and universities in Minnesota. It includes state technical
colleges, community colleges and state universities.
How can I benefit from MnTC?
MnTC allows you to take approved Liberal Arts and Sciences requirements and ensures that you will not have to retake
them upon transferring to other MnSCU institutions or the University of Minnesota. This will maximize other
opportunities for you and help you graduate on time.
What if I have already completed a MnTC course at another MnSCU institution?
That puts you one step closer to completing your Liberal Arts and Sciences at Southeast Technical. These courses will
easily transfer and satisfy part or all of your gen ed requirements. You can visit the Transfer Student Web page for more
information.
How do I know what courses at Southeast Tech qualify as MnTC?
For the most updated list of courses, please visit the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum Web pages.
Do I have to attend full-time in order to qualify for MnTC?
Visit www.mntransfer.org or www.southeastmn.edu or call and speak with a transfer specialist at 1-877-853-8324
We will be more than happy to discuss the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum with you and ways it can help you in your
education.
How do I find out about the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum Package?
You can visit our Minnesota Transfer Curriculum Package Web page to get more information about the package.
How do I find out more about Transfer?
You can visit the Minnesota Transfer website to get more information about transfer.

The Minnesota Transfer Curriculum is the means by which a student transfers a complete package of lower division general education from
one Minnesota State institution to another. At Minnesota State College Southeast this is accomplished by a minimum of 40 credits as
designated in this flyer. If a course is eligible for multiple goals, the additional goal(s) is listed in parenthesis; however, credits for any course
may count only once towards the minimum 40 credits.
Note: Students must maintain a minimum cumulative G.P.A. of 2.0 in these courses to transfer this package. The MnTC grade point average will be calculated
using grades of A – D (passing grades earned) in all MnTC courses, including both Minnesota State College Southeast and transfer grades.
Italicized listings are 4 credits. All others are 3 credits.

100% Online
OVERVIEW
Work with published authors to hone your creative writing skills.
The online Creative Writing Certificate at MSC Southeast offers you an in-depth,
accelerated introduction to the writing craft. What would have taken you years
of practice and research you’ll learn in three to four semesters under the
guidance of experienced faculty. Each course you take in the creative writing
certificate will deepen your understanding of writing as a practice and a craft.
Though you will study fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and publishing, each class will
expand on the various writing forms, devices, techniques, and structures that
you will need to become an experienced writer. In addition to sharpening and
expanding your writing, you will also read and respond critically to your peers,
as well as to a variety of published works.
This certificate will challenge you not only to develop your own natural talents
in the writing craft, but also to work on your less developed areas. When you
complete the certificate, you will have developed a polished portfolio of workshopped,
edited, and polished writing.
All courses in the Creative Writing Certificate are available 100% online. In addition,
students who are working toward the Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts and
Science can complete the Creative Writing Certificate as an area of emphasis by

100% online
OVERVIEW
The Early Childhood Education program focuses specifically on the education of
professionals in the early childhood field.
The most important strength of caregivers in the early childhood field is the education
received by the practitioners in both theory and process-oriented learning. Results of
international research on child care indicate that the education of the child care providers
is directly related to increased social, cognitive, and emotional growth of children.
Early childhood professionals will be prepared to practice professional, ethical, and
high-quality care giving strategies within diverse settings, caring for children from infancy
through school-age years. Students will be prepared to enter the early childhood field as
well as inspired to continue lifelong learning with the opportunity to pursue a baccalaureate
by completing the AA with ECED elective courses (and/or certificate option).
Early Childhood Education is an online program. The courses are ideal for practitioners
who are beginning their careers or already care for children. Caregivers/professionals will
increase their effectiveness and competence through curriculum, guidance, caregiving and
teaching skills, professional development, and ethical practice. Students will be directly

[History Transfer Pathway
Winona and Red Wing Campus
OVERVIEW
If you are curious about the past, you will find great rewards
in the study of history.
What happened a decade ago? A century ago? A thousand years ago?
In the History Transfer Pathway program at Minnesota State College Southeast
you will learn about the events of the past that brought us to where we are today.
This 2-year Associate of Arts degree is designed for direct transfer to any of the
seven universities in the Minnesota State System.
History is more than memorizing the “facts,” like dates, times, and places. History
is how we discover and tell the story of the past.
In your history classes, you will analyze texts critically, evaluate and form
judgments on past historical events, and communicate your conclusions in
spoken and written form.
In our program, advanced courses in Minnesota, American Indian, and music
history will help you build skills in courses at the sophomore level, using historical
research, writing, and museum experience.
The study of history is part of a well-rounded education in the liberal arts. Skills in
research, writing, and critical thinking are relevant to all careers and professions.

Red Wing & Winona Campuses
OVERVIEW
An Associate of Science (AS) degree in Individualized Studies is the right program if:
• you are undecided about your future career
• you want general education courses that transfer
• you are interested in a particular career field as well as an emphasis in Liberal
Arts
An AS degree in Individualized Studies leads directly to employment as well as being a
transferrable degree that can be accepted at other institutions. Typically, students enroll
at Minnesota State College Southeast for two years, and then transfer to another
college that has agreed to accept this AS degree. This allows students the opportunity
to begin a career or begin a baccalaureate degree at one college and complete it at
another. The AS in Individualized Studies allows students to:
• focus on specialized career interests
• combine and integrate a number of subjects into a degree program
• work toward completing the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum (MnTC)
• build on current areas of expertise and experiences.
This program is designed to provide a full complement of Liberal Arts and Science
courses transferrable to any Minnesota State College or University. In addition, a direct
program pathway has been developed to continue the 2-year A.S. degree and articulate
into the 4-year B.A. degree at Metro State University - First College, Twin Cities.
Also, one has been developed to articulate into the 4-year Professional Studies B.A.
Degree at Winona State University, Winona, Minnesota.

Liberal Arts and Sciences
Red Wing | Winona | Online
OVERVIEW
A well-rounded education, with a range of coursework in the arts, humanities, mathematics,
and sciences, provides the basis for lifelong learning. By earning an Associate of Arts
degree at Minnesota State College Southeast, you gain a credential you can take with you
to
transfer into a four-year college or university program as a junior in college.
The study of liberal arts and sciences isn’t just about memorizing facts - it’s learning how
to learn, so you will be prepared to adapt to an ever-changing world. You are not training
for a specific job but gaining the communications and reasoning skills that will enhance
your career opportunities in any area you might pursue in the future.
Workforce Readiness
There is an increasing national need for all working-age adults to possess at least two
years of higher education. Our region’s workforce communities have indicated that they
are seeking “well-rounded” individuals who possess strong critical thinking, problem solving,
and communications skills. With an Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts and Sciences, you
will be better qualified to pursue your career options.
Students can finish an Associate of Arts degree within four semesters at MSC Southeast.
All essential courses are offered every semester, and the college offers evening classes,
online classes, and hybrid classes. A full array of Liberal Arts and Sciences courses are available
at both the Red Wing and Winona campuses.

Red Wing & Winona Campus
OVERVIEW
Nursing is a challenging, innovative, and caring profession where you can make a
real difference in the lives of your patients. Minnesota State College Southeast’s
Practical Nursing program in Red Wing and Winona offers a concept-based approach
to the curriculum, giving you a holistic view of the patient’s health care needs.
Practical Nursing
The Practical Nursing major is designed to provide students with the knowledge
and skills necessary to provide direct nursing care to patients in hospitals, nursing
homes, clinics, home and community-based settings within the scope of practice of
a Practical Nurse. This challenging 2-semester program requires students to demonstrate
competence in classroom theory, laboratory experiences, simulated events,
and supervised clinical rotations. We recommend that students complete general
education coursework prior to entering the nursing program.
Admissions deadlines
• Fall Semester Start: All applications must be submitted by May 1 (or the next
business day if this date falls on a Saturday or Sunday) for priority admission
status to the Fall Semester of admission. Applications submitted after May 1 will
receive consideration after priority admission status applicants have been
considered.
• Spring Semester Start: All applications must be submitted by October 1 (or the
next business day if this date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or holiday) for priority
admission status to the Spring Semester of admission. Applications submitted
after October 1 will receive consideration after priority admission status
applicants have been considered.
Upon successful completion of the Practical Nursing program, you will be eligible
to become an LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) after passing the state administered
nursing examination called the NCLEX.
Note: Practical Nursing is offered on our campuses in Winona and Red Wing. During
clinical rotations, nursing students may be required to travel up to a 100-mile radius
from their home campus.

If you plan to apply to such a program in the future, consider taking these courses instead of BIOL 1200. BIOL 2516 Anatomy
and Physiology II must be taken concurrently and successfully passed with Practical Nurse 1 in the first semester of the
program.
* Human Biology or Anatomy and Physiology I & II, ATI TEAS Exam and Certified Nursing Assistant are all requirements prior
to acceptance into the nursing program. (See Nursing Application Packet for details.)

Winona and Red Wing Campus
OVERVIEW
Psychology is the scientific study of how people behave, think, and feel.
Begin your education in psychology at MSC Southeast.
Why do people behave in a certain way? What forces drive human
relationships? How does the brain process information? If you are curious
about questions like these, the study of psychology may be the educational
pathway for you.
At Minnesota State College Southeast in Red Wing and Winona, the Psychology
Transfer Pathway A.A. degree offers students a powerful option: the
opportunity to complete an associate degree designed for direct transfer to
designated Psychology bachelor degree programs at Minnesota State
universities.
After graduating with the Psychology Transfer Pathway A.A. degree, you can
transfer in as a junior and complete your bachelor’s degree by earning 60
additional credits at one of the seven Minnesota State universities (admission
requirements, including GPA, apply).
The Psychology Transfer Pathway A.A. degree is the foundation of a well-rounded
education with a range of coursework in the liberal arts and sciences,
providing the basis for lifelong learning. The insights you gain from this degree
will impact your success in any future career, whether in the field of psychology
or in business, education, health care, or any other profession.

OVERVIEW
The Radiography Program equips students with educational experiences within
classroom and clinical settings and prepares them for a rewarding career in medical
imaging.
Radiographers play a key role in the medical team, providing diagnostic radiology
services in hospitals, clinics, and advanced medical imaging centers. Administering
ionizing radiation, the radiographer produces images of any designated body part,
including bones, joints, and internal organs. The radiographer instructs and positions
patients, manipulates x-ray equipment, selects appropriate exposure factors, provides
radiation protection, processes images and evaluates image quality.
The employment outlook in medical imaging is excellent. In 2013, US News and
World Report ranked radiologic technologist among the top 100 jobs, noting that the
Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts employment growth of about 21 percent between
2012 and 2022.

OVERVIEW
Sociology: the scientific study of human social relationships, societies,
and institutions.
Minnesota State College Southeast in Winona and Red Wing is the place to start
your journey into the dynamic field of Sociology.
• How does social media change culture?
• What are the effects of different family styles on children?
• Can we explain crowd behaviors?
• How can community programs help people escape poverty?
• What are the risk factors for criminal behavior?
These are some of the questions asked in sociology, and at MSC Southeast, you’ll
explore these and many others in this incredibly diverse area of study.
Our Sociology Transfer Pathway Associate of Arts degree program allows you to:
• Begin a solid introductory background in sociology.
• Build the foundation of a liberal arts education that involves critical thinking,
promotes lifelong learning, and can serve you well in any profession.
• Transfer as a junior into designated bachelor-level sociology programs at the
seven Minnesota State universities. (Admission requirements such as minimum
GPA may apply.)
• This degree is offered at both the Winona and Red Wing campuses, with classes

Red Wing and Winona Campus
OVERVIEW
If you’re seeking a personally fulfilling career with sustainability in mind, consider
Sustainable Food and Farming at Minnesota State College Southeast in Winona.
In Southeast Minnesota and nearby Wisconsin, tall limestone bluffs rise above
the Mississippi River while creeks and rivers wind their way through steep valleys.
This fragile landscape demands special care when used for agriculture, posing
unique challenges and opportunities for farmers. That’s why Winona, MN, is an
exceptional location for studying sustainability.
The Sustainable Food and Farming program at MSC Southeast is a two-year Associate
of Applied Science degree. Course work revolves around four main areas:
general education, small business skills, agriculture technical science, and agriculture
trade skills.
In Sustainable Food and Farming, all aspects of agriculture are considered with
economic prosperity, social responsibility, and environmental stewardship in
mind.
• Economic prosperity: Business and marketing classes will prepare you for
managing a small business enterprise or farm successfully. Practical, handson
training in maintenance and use of farm equipment is part of the curriculum.
•
Social responsibility: Learn how small farms can promote healthy rural
communities while remaining independent and contributing to a vibrant
local economy.
• Environmental stewardship: Understand agricultural systems that utilize
biodiversity, restoration, and permaculture design while preventing water
contamination and soil loss.
Your studies conclude with practical experience working on a farm or other
agricultural/food production setting, where you will be involved in all aspects of
operations, from business planning to physical labor. Expect to get your hands
dirty as you learn from an established mentor what it takes to succeed in running
a sustainability based farm!

Winona Campus
OVERVIEW
Minnesota State College Southeast’s Truck Driving program is well-renowned
for top-notch instructors, state-of-the-art facilities, and best of all, 100% job
placement.
This is a prehire program, meaning many trucking companies hire qualified
students once they are enrolled at MSC Southeast. After training is completed,
students are ready to get behind the wheel and earn a desirable income. Because
highly skilled truckers are in demand, many companies will even pay for
your training through tuition reimbursement.
MSC Southeast’s program is successful because our 8 week program combines
classroom and behind-the-wheel training to prepare you for any situation you
may face when on the road. Because the program is so intense, attendance and
attitude are crucial, just as they are once you’re on the job.
As a student, you’ll enjoy a low student-to-instructor ratio to give you the attention
you need. You’ll also learn from the best—our Truck Driving instructors
have over 65 years of safe driving experience and take great pride in the Truck
Driving program’s motto:
“We have an obligation to ourselves, our students, our community and to other
highway users, to train the safest, most courteous drivers on the highway today.
This is not an obligation we take lightly.”

From day one in Welding Technology at MSC Southeast in Winona, you’ll be getting
hands-on experience in the welding shop. The program begins with training
in safety and the proper handling of tools and shop supplies. Over the course of
the year, our students become skilled in several welding and cutting processes in a
variety of positions, including:
•
•
•
•
(OFW) oxy-fuel welding and cutting
(SMAW) stick welding
(GMAW) mig welding
(GTAW) tig welding
Students also learn the proper set up and selection of welding equipment and
how to read and perform duties from weld shop blueprints. Since quality is
critical, you’ll also learn how to inspect your welds to meet today’s standards and
specifications.
All students must complete a welding capstone, designing a project from concept
on through completion. Plus, there’s an option to take an elective on-the-job
internship, which can help with finding future employment.
Finally, you’ll gain the skill to properly set up, complete, and pass a welding bend
test to AWS (American Welding Society) D1.1 standards. With your diploma and
this credential, you’ll have the skills needed to enter today’s welding workforce!
