Most awards have General Education Transfer Curriculum (MnTC) requirements. Students seeking an Associate in Arts degree must successfully complete a total of 40 credits of MnTC coursework (See Associate in Arts Degree for specific MnTC goal area requirements).  The A.F.A., A.S. and the A.A.S. degrees also use MnTC courses to fulfill their General Education requirements. While not required, some of the Diplomas and Certificates at Minneapolis College also use MnTC courses to fulfill their requirements.

 MnTC Goal Area 01: Communication

 To develop writers and speakers who use the English language effectively and who read, write, speak, and listen critically. As a   base, all students should complete introductory communication requirements early in their collegiate studies. Writing competency is an ongoing process to be reinforced through writing-intensive courses and writing across the curriculum. Speaking and listening skills need reinforcement through multiple opportunities for interpersonal communication, public speaking, and discussion.

 A minimum of 9 credits, which must include ENGL 1110 or ENGA 1110, and ENGL 1111, as well as an eligible communication studies course.

 MnTC Goal Area 02: Critical Thinking

 To develop thinkers who are able to unify factual, creative, rational, and value-sensitive modes of thought. Critical thinking will be taught and used throughout the general education curriculum in order to develop students’ awareness of their own thinking and problem-solving procedures. To integrate new skills into their customary ways of thinking, students must be actively engaged in practicing thinking skills and applying them to open-ended problems..

 Completion of the full 40-credit Minnesota Transfer Curriculum or a minimum of one course designated as a MnTC 2 course.

 MnTC Goal Area 03: Natural Science

 To improve students’ understanding of natural science principles and of the methods of scientific inquiry, i.e., the ways in which scientists investigate natural science phenomena. As a basis for lifelong learning, students need to know the vocabulary of science and to realize that while a set of principles has been developed through the work of previous scientists, ongoing scientific inquiry and new knowledge will bring changes in some of the ways scientists view the world. By studying the problems that engage today’s scientists, students learn to appreciate the importance of science in their lives and to understand the value of a scientific perspective. Students should be encouraged to study both the biological and physical sciences.

 A minimum of two courses in different disciplines, one course must have a traditional lab and the other course must have a traditional lab or lab-like experience.

 MnTC Goal Area 04: Mathematical and Logical Reasoning

 To increase students’ knowledge about mathematical and logical modes of thinking. This will enable students to appreciate the breadth of applications of mathematics, evaluate arguments, and detect fallacious reasoning. Students will learn to apply mathematics, logic, and/or statistics to help them make decisions in their lives and careers. Minnesota’s public higher education systems have agreed that developmental mathematics includes the first three years of a high school mathematics sequence through intermediate algebra..

 MnTC Goal Area 09: Ethical and Civic Responsibility

 To develop students’ capacity to identify, discuss, and reflect upon the ethical dimensions of political, social, and personal life and to understand the ways in which they can exercise responsible and productive citizenship. While there are diverse views of social justice or the common good in a pluralistic society, students should learn that responsible citizenship requires them to develop skills to understand their own and others’ positions, be part of the free exchange of ideas, and function as public-minded citizens.
