Will these credits
transfer?
As we explained previously, the AA is designed for transfer. Generally speaking, if you take the general education courses listed in Goals 1-10, they should transfer well. However, there are several things you need to keep in mind if you are interested in transferring:
- General education
- Pre-major requirements
General Education Requirements:
As explained previously, the MTC transfers to fulfill the general education requirements at all Minnesota public colleges and universities. However if you want to transfer to a private college in Minnesota, the MTC will not necessarily fulfill your general education requirements. Stop by the Career Development Center for a transfer guide (see below). If you want to transfer out-of-state, we need to follow the requirements of the college to which you are transferring. Make an appointment with an IHCC counselor so they can assist you with planning a transfer out-of-state.
Pre-major Requirements:
Many majors have specific courses that students need to complete BEFORE transferring. These are called
pre-major requirements. The AA Pre-Major Tracks are designed to include typical
pre-major requirements for the respective major. While rare, on occasion students need to transfer after
one year of coursework to complete their major at a transfer college. Stop by the Career Development Center for a transfer guide (see below). Make an appointment with an IHCC counselor so they can assist you with planning your transfer.
Other transfer consideration:
There are many other elements in planning to transfer, such as second language requirements, high school preparation requirements, transfer GPA's, major GPA's, application deadlines, etc. Make an appointment with an IHCC counselor so they can assist you with planning your transfer.
In the IHCC Counseling and Career Development Center, we have several transfer resources to assist you.
Professional Counselors Counselors help students clarify educational goals, identify program options, make decisions about degrees and select courses that fulfill a student's degree requirements, transfer plans and educational goals. In addition, counselors also help students monitor their academic progress.
Transfer Guides
More than sixty guides are available for Minnesota colleges and some out-of-state colleges. The guides highlight which Inver Hills courses students should take to transfer to another college. Guides highlight general education requirements as well as specific major requirements.
Equiv alency Guides
There are course equivalency guides, which are available for many colleges, listing how each IHCC course transfers to a specific college.
Internet and Computer Resources
There are a number of educational planning resources available to students in the Career Development Center. For example, the Minnesota Transfer Web site provides students quick access to campus Web sites throughout Minnesota. Minnesota's iSeek Web site provides information about educational options, as well as career and employment information.
College Representatives
Representatives from four-year colleges visit campus regularly. The visits give students interested in transferring an opportunity to learn more about the colleges. The IHCC Student Bulletin, which is published weekly, announces upcoming Campus Visits.
Additional Resources Current catalogs, scholarship information, application forms, and college files are available to help students with their transfer to in-state and out-of-state colleges.
