Hello!
Minnesota State works to make transferring from one institution to another as easy as possible. We offer a variety of transfer options, including the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum and our innovative Transfer Pathways which make it easy for students to complete a specific associate degree at one of our colleges and then transfer to one of our universities to earn a bachelor’s degree — saving students time and money without losing credits or taking extra courses. Today I’m sharing with you the stories of two Minnesota State students who found our transfer options were the perfect way for them to meet their educational goals. Enjoy!

 Finding His Path at Southwest Minnesota State University
Jacob Fike didn’t take the traditional path to college. He had planned on starting at a four-year university right away, but when his ACT score was lower than expected, he needed to change course. He enrolled at Anoka-Ramsey Community College for two years and then transferred to Southwest Minnesota State University to finish his bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science. He is now on his way to earning a Ph.D.
