Liberal ("General") Education regional/national guides
The U of M Office of Admissions has many liberal education transfer guides for institutions across the U.S. Please consult these, and if you have questions or your institution is not listed call admissions at 612-625-2008.
If you complete the MnTC at a participating MN state college or university and then transfer to the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, you will have completed all U of M Liberal Education requirements (except the Writing Intensive requirements.) The U of M will recognize the MnTC IF the transcript sent from the school where it was completed verifies this completion on the transcript sent to the U of M.
Will my STUDIO courses transfer in to a CDes major?
Students who wish to submit prior studio work for review for transfer in lieu of studio courses in an architecture or design major may do so AFTER admission to the College of Design. Work from studio coursework taken elsewhere rarely transfers into a College of Design architecture or design program because design courses are taught very differently between schools. Please talk to a prospective student adviser for more information.
How long will it take me to finish a studio-based program?
The studio courses in the architecture and design programs are sequenced over four years regardless of how many or what types of courses you completed prior to your term of admission. Studio courses must be taken in sequence and during the specified semester. Students should not count on using summers to speed up the design sequence, as studio courses are not offered in the summer. Students can, however, take Liberal Education and writing/communication requirements in the summer, even though completion of these requirements will not allow students to graduate sooner.
