Transferring to Alexandria Technical College

Transferring from Alexandria Technical College

ATC offers many courses within the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum. When you complete the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum, the entire block of curriculum transfers to any Minnesota State Colleges & Universities (MnSCU) institution, and the courses are generally accepted by most other public and private colleges.

Courses outside of the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum are evaluated on an individual basis. It is the student's responsibility to provide course descriptions or outlines to a future college.

Another transfer option is to earn an Associate in Science (AS) degree. AS degrees are widely accepted at four-year institutions as the first two years of a Bachelor's degree. ATC offers AS degrees in Accounting, Business Administration, Child Development, Computer Information Systems, Marketing, Law Enforcement, and Individualized Professional Studies. Financial aid is available for eligible students pursuing AS degrees.
