If you are transferring to UMD with a completed U.S. Associate of Arts (AA) degree, Associate of Science (AS) degree, or Bachelor's degree, you have fulfilled UMD's Liberal Education Program requirement. However, individual courses from your transfer institution used to complete the AA, AS, or Bachelor's are not always directly transferred as equivalent UMD courses.
If you transfer to UMD from another Minnesota state college or university, and have completed the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum (MnTC), you have fulfilled UMD’s liberal education requirements. However, know that individual courses from your transfer institution used to complete the MnTC are not always directly transferred as equivalent UMD courses.
The MnTC can also be completed at UMD and posted to your U of M transcript. (Note that the McTC competencies differ from the UMD liberal education categories.) If you completed the MnTC at a different U of M campus, work with that campus to have the MnTC notation added to your record.
