Other General Education Requirements: ( 9 credits) The set of Required Program Courses and the Required General Education Courses amounting to 51 credits, together satisfy Minnesota Transfer Curriculum goal areas 01, 0 and 04. Students must choose remaining 9 credits from three other goal areas. Among these, at least credits must be chosen from among the goal areas 07, 08, 09 or 10. A recommended list (see next page) from which students can choose the different goal area electives of total 9 credits (with minimum credits from goal area 07, 08, 09, 10) is shown in this document. However, students can also choose any other General Education courses which are not listed here, as per their transfer needs or jobs and career needs, but meet the goal area requirements.
