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

Completion of the MAPP and all special requirements satisfies the requirements for MCCCD Associate in Arts degree and AGEC-A, meets major map requirements at ASU, and guarantees admission to the Environmental Design BS degree program.

The MAPP for the BS in Environmental Design is provided as a transfer pathway for students wishing to complete their BS in Environmental Design at Arizona State University. The BS in Environmental Design is a pathway for the 3+ graduate programs in Architecture, Industrial Design, Interior Architecture, Landscape Architecture and Visual Communication Design offered through The Design School. These programs are studio Master’s Degree programs that students with a Bachelor’s Degree in any discipline can apply for. The options for these programs can be seen on The Design School’s graduate degrees page https://design.asu.edu/degree-programs/graduate
