Special Requirements

Completion of the TAG and all special requirements satisfies the requirements for Pima Community College Associate in Business, General Requirements degree and AGEC-B, meets major map requirements at ASU and guarantees admission to the university. This degree program requires meeting W. P. Carey Bachelor of Arts requirements.

Admission Requirements:

Students must complete the TAG with a 3.0 cumulative transfer GPA. A minimum 3.0 ASU cumulative GPA is also required (if an ASU GPA has been earned).

*Because Arizona State University calculates GPAs differently than Pima Community College, admission to the BA program is certified upon the calculation of the 3.0 cumulative transfer GPA by ASU Undergraduate Admissions. A cumulative transfer GPA includes all college coursework completed at regionally accredited institutions of higher education. Students are responsible for confirming all transfer transcripts are on file with ASU. For more information: https://transfer.asu.edu/credits

Effective Fall 2013 ASU no longer requires submission of a current SAT Reasoning score or ACT score by the end of the first semester in the program.

Only 64 credits are transferrable to ASU. Please refer to ASU Degree Search for information regarding readmissions requirements.
