About the Program
Start ANY degree at Century! An Associate in Arts degree allows you to complete both general education requirements and pre-major requirements for a wide range of majors and programs at four-year colleges and universities. You should consult with a Century counselor or advisor so that you can be sure courses taken at Century fulfill the requirements of a particular field of study, and contact the transfer institution.
Minnesota Transfer Curriculum
The Minnesota State system has a common general education curriculum called the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum or MnTC.
The MnTC is an agreement signed by all Minnesota two- and four-year public colleges and universities to support the transfer of coursework and credits in general education. When you complete the MnTC and then transfer to any other Minnesota State institution, you will have fulfilled all lower-division general education requirements. It also transfers to the University of Minnesota plus many private and out-of-state schools. Within the 40 credits required, there are ten goals. The AFA, AS and the AAS degrees and the diplomas and certificates at Century College also use MnTC courses to fulfill their general education requirements.

“Class sizes were small enough to engage with my fellow peers as well as develop a strong student-instructor relationship. I believe that helped me to be successful in the classroom and beyond.”
