South Central College Hosting Transfer Open Houses
South Central College (SCC) will host Transfer Open Houses at the college’s North Mankato Campus on Tuesday, May 6 and Faribault Campus on Thursday, May 8. Both events will take place from 3 – 6 p.m. and feature refreshments, giveaways and information on how students can start their bachelor’s degree at SCC.
Attendees will have the opportunity to meet with faculty from SCC’s transfer programs, which allow students to complete the first half of their bachelor’s degree at the college before transferring to a Minnesota State system university as a junior.
Representatives from five of the Minnesota State system universities where students can transfer after their time at SCC will also be at one or both campus events to answer questions. Universities represented include Minnesota State University, Mankato; Metro State University, Minnesota State University Moorhead, St. Cloud State University and Winona State University.
For 20 years, students have had the ability to start their bachelor’s degree at SCC. In 2005, South Central College introduced its associate of arts degree program which helps students meet the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum requirements and prepares them to transfer into a variety of university programs.
In recent years, SCC has added 10 focused Minnesota State Transfer Pathway programs, which enable students to earn their associate degree at South Central College and transfer 60 credits toward a related bachelor’s degree at one of the seven Minnesota state universities. SCC currently has Transfer Pathway degrees in accounting, biology, business, communication studies, early childhood education, economics, English, history, pre-social work and psychology.
