Transfer Programs
Lake Superior College offers different transfer programs. Below is a list and description of the different programs that are available.
Associate in Arts (A.A.) may be awarded for successful completion of programs primarily intended to provide a broad liberal arts and sciences background, and to constitute the first two years of four-year degree programs. Associate in Arts programs include 60 semester credits of completed course work, which is defined as college level with a grade point average of 2.0 or better. The requirements of the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum (MNTC) must be met. At least 20 semester credits shall be taught by faculty recommending the awarding of the degree. The residency requirement shall be reduced to 15 credits for students transferring with at least 5 credits from another MnSCU institution. For specific credit requirements within educational categories, please refer to the A.A. Program Planner and/or advisor.
Associate in Fine Arts Degree (AFA) may be awarded after the successful completion of a program in a designated discipline in fine arts. The AFA degree is designed to transfer to a baccalaureate degree, as specified in an articulation agreement between Lake Superior College and specified transfer institutions. An AFA degree may be awarded after the successful completion of a program of 60 to 64 semester credits. Program credit lengths proposed to exceed 64 semester credits require special approval by the chancellor. At least 20 semester credits shall be taught by the faculty recommending the awarding of the degree. An AFA degree shall include a minimum of 24 semester credits in general education, and general education credits shall be selected from at least six of the ten goal areas of the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum except as provided for in MnSCU Procedure 3.17.1.
