Once you’ve started taking courses at MTU, Perspectives on Inquiry(UN1001) and World Cultures(UN1002) must be taken here. You may take Distribution courses elsewhere & transfer the credits here.  To take Revisions (UN2001) or Institutions (UN2002) elsewhere, you must see the Transfer Services coordinator, 110 Admin bldg, before taking the course to verify you are taking the correct course or call 487-3323.
