Bethel’s academic catalog and transfer information can be viewed online at www.bethel.edu. It can
also be sent to you or it is available in the Riverland CC office.
This transfer guide is designed to help a student at Riverland Community College easily and
confidently choose courses to take at Riverland CC 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 Riverland CC curriculum objectives, while also completing coursework that
Bethel requires. Contact Bethel or Riverland CC to 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 Riverland CC 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 is posted.
