Degree pathways

You’re closer to your degree than ever

Follow your passions toward a degree

When you choose a pathway, you can access Arizona State University courses at low personal or financial risk. You’ll try out courses aligned with your future degree of interest without having to be admitted to ASU or pay upfront.

When you meet the admission requirements for your pathway and submit an ASU application (including required materials) you’ll be eligible for admission, regardless of your past academic experiences. Once you have added all your courses to your academic transcript, you’ll have a leg up when transitioning into your degree program.
