Suggested PSEO Coursework

Postsecondary Enrollment Options (PSEO) is a program that allows 10th-, 11th- and 12th-grade students to earn college credit while still in high school, through enrollment in and successful completion of college-level courses. 

Below are suggested PSEO courses that students who attend colleges other than UMR for PSEO credit could take that will generally transfer to UMR:

  • General Psychology (PSY 1511 Intro to Psychology at UMR)
  • Math Courses:
    • College Algebra (MATH 1120 Pre-Calculus I at UMR)
    • Pre-Calculus (MATH 1121 Pre-Calculus II at UMR)
    • Calculus (MATH 1171 Calculus I at UMR)
    • Statistics (MATH 1161 Statistics at UMR)
  • History (Any course that meets the “Historical Perspectives” general education requirement at UMR - “HIST” in transferology)
  • Literature (Any course that meets the “Literature” general education requirement at UMR - “LIT” in transferology)
  • English (WRIT 1501 Writing and Research at UMR)
  • Spanish or another foreign language (take the second semester in a sequence to have it count for your language requirement at UMR)
  • Medical Terminology (PHAR 1002 Medical Terminology at UMTC)
  • Certified Nursing Assistant 
    • This credit does not transfer to UMR, but it will give you much needed patient care experience that will strengthen your application to health profession programs if you are interested in patient care. It can also help you determine if healthcare is the right fit for you.

Transferology

To get an idea of how specific courses from your previous or current institution will transfer to UMR, please visit Transferology.com. This resource is used by hundreds of schools in 17 different states across the U.S. You should look for direct equivalent courses to the UMR course numbers listed above, or to the appropriate general education requirement.  

For additional assistance, please contact the Office of Admissions at applyumr@r.umn.edu.

Please be aware transfer coursework is formally reviewed in the Office of Admissions ONLY after admission to UMR to determine:

    • if the course transfers.
    • if the course meets any of the University's general education requirements, or if the course has been evaluated previously for major requirements.
    • if the course has a direct U of M course equivalent.

When you attend New Raptor Advising and Registration Day, you will receive a transfer credit report which shows the courses and total credits transferred, the courses that did not transfer, as well as how the transfer courses will fulfill any of the University's general education requirements.

Note to students planning to enter Medical School, PA School and other Professional Schools:

In the past, some Medical schools, Physician Assistant schools and other professional schools required science courses to be taken at four-year institutions.  Today, however, most schools accept coursework from regionally accredited two-year colleges.  Admissions committees are generally concerned more with how a student performs in the STEM coursework than where they take it. We advise students who begin at community colleges to demonstrate strength in upper-level sciences after transferring to a four-year university rather than to repeat lower level courses they have already completed satisfactorily. By advancing to upper-level sciences and performing well, they are better preparing themselves for exams like the MCAT and DAT. Most concept and survey courses at Community Colleges do not fulfill entry requirement, but could help you prepare for science at UMR!
