The 27 Minnesota State Transfer Pathways are designed so you can complete a specific associate degree at a Minnesota State college and transfer to St. Cloud State University to earn a bachelor’s degree without losing credits or taking extra courses

If you complete a Transfer Pathway degree program at a Minnesota State college and are admitted to SCSU, you will be guaranteed junior status and given assurance that all 60 college credits will count toward the related bachelor’s degree.

If the pathway degree is not completed prior to your start at SCSU, then the Minnesota Transfer Pathway agreement does not apply.

St. Cloud State has articulation agreements with two-year colleges in Minnesota and elsewhere.

These agreements provide for transition from two-year college programs into bachelor's degree programs at St. Cloud State.
