PSEO students typically take general education courses. Please refer to the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum (MnTC) Program Guide for a list of eligible general education courses offered at Century College.
It is very important that you work with your high school counselor to ensure you are taking courses that meet your high school graduation requirements.
Many Career and Technical Education (CTE) courses are also available for PSEO students to take. View the Additional PSEO Course List document for more details.
Some courses are restricted for PSEO students.
We understand that many PSEO students plan to transfer their Century College courses to another 2 or 4-year institution. The Minnesota Office of Higher Education (MOHE) has a useful tool on their website to determine if your PSEO classes taken at Century College will transfer to your institution(s) of choice. Please follow the link below to access the tool under the heading, "Do All Colleges and Universities Accept These Credits?"
*Please note, this tool will only show colleges & universities located in Minnesota.
You may also utilize Transferology. This website will allow you to search course-by-course to see how classes transfer to specific universities, including those institutions outside the state of Minnesota.
*Please Note: Transferology will only show classes that have been transferred between schools previously and only includes colleges and universities that belong to the website. If a school or class is not on the website this does not indicate the course will not transfer or that the school will not accept your credits. Please contact your Academic Advisor or the other institution to determine if the course will transfer.
PSEO students are able to be a part-time or full-time student at Century College. At the college, a full-time student takes 12 credits or more/semester. A part-time student takes 11 credits or less/semester.
The high school may have a different definition of what they consider to be a part-time versus full-time PSEO student.
We recommend PSEO students take no more than 16 credits/semester. The maximum number of credits a PSEO student can take is 18/semester.
No. Juniors and Seniors can take one Career or Technical Education (CTE) course as a PSEO student regardless of class rank or GPA if they meet the following: public school student and have a test score that meets or exceeds the standards on the 8th grade MCA reading test and meet the prerequisites of the course they are hoping to enroll in. Each subsequent semester students can take additional CTE courses regardless of rank or GPA as long as they meet the prerequisite of the course (ACCUPLACER or ACT testing).
Juniors and Seniors can select a course from the Approved Courses for 10th Grade PSEO guide sheet.
The first semester a student is in the 10th Grade PSEO program, they may register for one course found on the Approved Courses for 10th Grade PSEO document. This list encompasses career and technical course options.
If the 10th Grade PSEO student receives a grade of C or higher in their first semester course, they can then register their second semeseter for additional career/technical courses or general education focused courses. The maximum credits students can register for during their second semester is 18 credits.
