Pathway Notes
Completion of the TAG and all special requirements satisfies the requirements for Pima Community College Associate of Business in Business Administration degree and AGEC-B, meets major map requirements at ASU, and guarantees admission to the Business Bachelor degree program. Special Requirements: In addition to university requirements, the W.P. Carey School of Business has the following special requirements: All courses must be completed with a grade of "C" or better. Students who complete the TAG with a 3.0 cumulative transfer GPA* and submit one of the following: an SAT (math and critical reading sections only) score of 1160 or higher, OR an ACT composite score of 25 or higher, OR a high school class ranking in the top 8 percent, OR an overall high school GPA of 3.60 in ASU competency courses (A=4.00) are guaranteed admission to the W.P. Carey School of Business Bachelor degree program, subject to capacity availability. Students may be assigned to a specific campus. * Because Arizona State University computers GPAs differently than Pima Community College, admission to the Bachelor program can only be certified after ASU calculates and certifies the GPA. Only 64 credits are transferrable to ASU.
