Pathway Agreement

Maricopa Community College District
Computer Science (Software Engineering), BS Pathway
2021-2022
Pathway Notes
Minimum 2.0 GPA in coursework used to satisfy MAPP requirements. All courses must be completed with a grade of C or greater. Some ASU programs may have higher GPA and grade requirements. Please see special requirements below for details.
Special Requirements

The recommended MCCCD associate degree pathway and Arizona General Education Certificate (AGEC) for this major is the Associate in Science, Emphasis in Computer Science degree and AGEC-S. Completion of the MAPP and all special requirements meets major map requirements at ASU and guarantees admission to the Computer Science (Software Engineering), BS degree program.

In addition to university requirements, the Fulton School of Engineering requires that students must complete the MAPP with a 3.0 cumulative transfer GPA. Note that Arizona State University calculates GPA's differently than the Maricopa Community College District, thus guaranteed admission to the Computer Science (Software Engineering) BS program is dependent upon calculation of the 3.0 cumulative transfer GPA. Also, MAPP students must have an associate degree in progress or a completed associate degree posted on their transcript when applying for admission or they will be held to regular admission procedures and will not receive MAPP benefits. A total of 64 credit hours will transfer to Arizona State University.
