Bethel’s academic catalog and transfer information can be viewed online at www.bethel.edu. It can
also be sent to you and it is available in the Minnesota State Community and Technical counseling
office.
This transfer guide is designed to help a student at Minnesota State Community and Technical
College, easily choose courses to take that will satisfy Bethel general education (core curriculum)
requirements. Unless otherwise indicated, one (1) course from each area will satisfy that gen ed
requirement. Pages 16-31 in the 2011-2012 Bethel Catalog provides further information regarding
Bethel’s transfer and general education requirements. In most cases, with careful planning you will
be able to fulfill Minnesota State Comm and Tech College’s curriculum objectives, while also
completing coursework that Bethel requires. Contact Bethel or MSCTC for assistance with your
planning.
Here are some additional guidelines to consider:
-Most courses required for a specific academic major should be taken at Bethel.
-Students in majors that have sequential courses (such as the sciences) must plan carefully with
the specific department at Bethel.
-Any MSCTC course taken to satisfy a requirement for a major at Bethel should be approved by
the specific academic department at Bethel.
-Bethel’s programs are designed to be completed in 4 years. Early communication with
you will allow Bethel to help you to determine when it is best for you to transfer.
-Courses that are listed under more than one category can only count once. Students can choose
which category they prefer.
-A grade of ‘C’ or higher is required on each course to be accepted by Bethel.
-An official transcript must be sent to Bethel once the course is completed and grade posted.
