Courses at Itasca Station can fulfill major and elective requirements for a variety of UMN-Twin Cities majors and minors in the College of Biological Sciences, College of Food, Agriculture and Natural Resources Science, and College of Liberal Arts. Courses also fulfill Biology degree requirements for students from UMN-Duluth. Students from other UMN colleges or campuses and outside institutions should check with their academic advisors to see if Itasca courses may fulfill major requirements for their degrees as well.
If you have taken a course or would like to take a course that is not currently listed as being accepted for credit for your major, you may petition to have that course accepted. Ask your academic advisor about the petition process.
If you are a UMN student and have taken a course that you think should be fulfilling a requirement but is not showing up in your APAS as fulfilling that requirement, please reach out to your academic advisor and cc us at [email protected] so we can provide assistance.
