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 are the Associate in Arts, Emphasis in Secondary Education and AGEC-A. Completion of the MAPP and all special requirements meets major map requirements at ASU and guarantees admission to the Secondary Education (Political Science) BAE degree program.

Special Requirements: 2.5 GPA in coursework used to satisfy MAPP requirements.  All courses must be completed with a grade of "C" or better.

While successful completion of the MAPP will guarantee admission to ASU's Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College, additional course work in your content area of specialization may be required prior to admission to the iTeachAZ Professional Teacher Program which may impact your ability to seamlessly progress through the upper division course work. We recommend you speak to a Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College advisor to discuss these requirements further.
