What it is

Mathematics: Transfer Pathway, A.A.

The Mathematics Transfer Pathway A.A. offers students a powerful option: the opportunity to complete an Associate of Arts degree with course credits that directly transfer to designated Mathematics bachelor’s degree programs at Minnesota State universities*.

The curriculum has been specifically designed so that students completing this pathway degree and transferring to one of the 7 Minnesota State universities enter the university with junior-year status. All courses in the Transfer Pathway associate degree will directly transfer and apply to the designated bachelor’s degree programs in a related field.

Minneapolis College’s innovative math program encourages exploration and serves a diverse population. If you plan to continue math studies at a Minnesota State 4-year college or university or need refresher courses to prepare you for other majors, the math program offers extensive support at all math levels.
