Special Requirements

Completion of the Maricopa to ASU Engineering Pathway and all special requirements meets ASU major map requirements and guarantees admission to the Materials Science and Engineering, BSE degree program. 

A 3.0 transfer GPA as calculated by ASU for admissions is required. All courses must be completed with a grade of "C" or better.

Engineering Core courses should be prioritized over Additional Lower Division Requirements.

Students interested in completing the BSE Materials Science and Engineering degree, must complete MSE 250 and MSE 215 through concurrent-enrollment in the fall prior to admission. Students are strongly encouraged to contact the SEMTE Advising Office at (480)965-2335 to meet with an academic advisor upon enrollment into a MAPP at the community college.

Note: Only 64 credit hours are transferable to ASU from a community college. Completion of the Engineering Core is the most efficient transfer pathway to this bachelor's degree, but does not meet all requirements for an associate degree. Students who wish to complete an associate degree prior to transferring to ASU should consult an academic advisor to discuss the additional courses required.
