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 RCTC counseling office.
This transfer guide is designed to help a student at Rochester Community and Technical College
easily and confidently choose courses to take at RCTC 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 RCTC or Minnesota Transfer Curriculum objectives,
while also completing coursework that Bethel requires. Contact Bethel or RCTC 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.
-Any RCTC course taken to satisfy a requirement for a major at Bethel should be
approved by the specific academic department at Bethel.
-Nearly all of the courses listed on this guide will also fit the MNTC.
-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 has been completed and grade is
posted.
