Pathway Agreement

Maricopa Community College District
Global Management, BGM Pathway
2017-2018
ASU Major: Global Management, BGM | Thunderbird School of Global Management
Pathway Notes
All courses must be completed with a grade of "C" or better.
Special Requirements

Completion of the MAPP and all special requirements satisfies the requirements for MCCCD Associate in Arts and AGEC-B, meets major map requirements at ASU, and guarantees admission to the Global Management, BGM degree program.

While the Global Management, BGM MAPP is listed here as an Associate in Arts, students have the option to pursue an ABUS-GR or ABUS-SR degree.  The additional coursework for this option is listed in the track at the bottom of the MAPP.  Selecting this option will limit the number of electives available compared to the Associate of Arts because the additional ABUS requirements are taken in their place.

Students pursuing a major in Global Management have two different major tracks available to them: 1.) International Business, Language, & Culture, and 2.) International Business & Culture. Students pursuing the International Business, Language, & Culture track are required to study a foreign language through the fourth semester-level, as well as upper-division language & culture courses. Students pursuing International Business & Culture are not required to study a foreign language; instead, they study additional coursework in international management and global studies.
