Courses with no Prerequisites
Most courses have prerequisites; that is, they require college-level competency in reading, math and/or English, or they may have another college-level course that must be satisfactorily completed before they can be selected. There are a number of courses that do not have prerequisites; these are listed below for your convenience. Note that some are MnTC courses (see Minnesota Transfer Curriculum (MnTC), some are not. This list is not comprehensive – for example, it does not include courses which are part of recognized career and technical programs. Consult a counselor or advisor for more complete information.
