Understanding transfer pathways at Century College

What are the specific transfer pathways available at Century College? I'm curious about how they align with various four-year programs and which universities they link to.

Century College offers a variety of transfer pathways that are designed to align with the first two years of a bachelor's program at a four-year institution. These are generally referred to as Minnesota Transfer Pathways and there are several distinct pathways for the most popular majors.

One such transfer pathway is in Biology. This program prepares students for a smooth transition into the junior year of a four-year Biology Bachelor's program. Similarly, the Business Transfer Pathway provides a comprehensive business foundation that matches the first two years of a four-year degree in a business-related field.

Another is the Psychology Transfer Pathway, which prepares students for junior and senior-level coursework for a Bachelor's degree in Psychology at numerous in-state and out-of-state institutions.

Additionally, the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum (MnTC) is a fantastic option. This curriculum, essentially, forms the General Education requirements of a bachelor's degree at all public, and many private, universities in Minnesota. Students can complete the entire 40-credit package or just individual courses for transfer.

As far as the universities these pathways align with, most of these programs are associated with the Minnesota State University system, but many students also transfer to University of Minnesota campuses and The University of Wisconsin system. In addition, these pathways can make transferring to private or out-of-state universities smoother as they are based on a widely accepted curriculum.

Always ensure to meet with a transfer specialist at both Century College and the potential four-year institution to ensure all credits will indeed transfer and satisfy degree requirements. The specifics might vary based on the institution and the four-year program you're aiming at.
