Transfer Pathways

Minnesota State Transfer Pathways

Minnesota State Transfer Pathways are designed so you can complete a specific associate degree at a Minnesota State college and transfer to a Minnesota State university to earn a bachelor’s degree without losing credits or taking extra courses. Transfer Pathways can be a great resource for saving time and money as you work toward graduation.

How Transfer Pathways Work

If you complete a Transfer Pathway degree program at a Minnesota State college and are admitted to any of the 7 Minnesota State universities, you will be guaranteed junior status and given assurance that all 60 college credits will count toward the related bachelor’s degree.

A student must still meet any special admission requirement for the major and is not guaranteed admission into the major itself.
