2018-2019
Pathway Notes
All courses must be completed with a grade of "C" or better.
Special Requirements

This degree program requires meeting W. P. Carey Bachelor of Science requirements.

Admission Requirements:

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

Completion of the MAPP and all special requirements satisfies the requirements for MCCCD Associate in Business (ABUS-SR) and AGEC-B, meets major map requirements at ASU, and guarantees admission to the university and admission to W.P. Carey Bachelor of Science degree. 

In addition to a minimum 3.00 cumulative transfer GPA, students must meet one of the following for admission to the W. P. Carey Bachelor of Science degree program: SAT (math and critical reading sections only) score of 1230 (after March 2016) or 1160 (prior to March 2016), or an ACT (composite), 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).  Because Arizona State University calculates GPAs differently than the Maricopa Community College District, admission to the BS 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

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