Colorado Statewide Guaranteed Transfer Courses
Colorado Department of Higher Education Statewide Guaranteed Transfer Courses
Colorado Mesa University offers a wide variety of Essential Learning courses that are approved for Colorado's Guaranteed Transfer Pathways (gtPathways) General Education Curriculum, which ensures their acceptance for transfer to other Colorado public institutions of higher education. Additionally, CMU accepts the transfer of gtPathways approved courses from other Colorado public institutions of higher education. Guaranteed transfer courses are universally transferable across these institutions and are applicable to Essential Learning/General Education requirements within all associate and baccalaureate degree programs.
