The ASU-USA Pathways program is designed for international students who do not meet the academic requirements for undergraduate admission to ASU and who need to improve their English language level. Qualifying students will gain admission to ASU, be better prepared to perform in the American university classroom and will earn up to 26 credits toward an undergraduate degree at ASU or any other American university.
The ASU-USA Pathways program is offered in 1 or 3-terms, with degree tracks in Business, Global Management or Arts and Sciences within the W. P. Carey School of Business, the Thunderbird School of Global Management or the New College of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences.
To determine your eligibility for the 1 or 3-term pathway, please review our admission requirements.
During your time in the ASU-USA Pathway program, you will begin your freshman year for-credit courses (first year) in your degree program of choice, along with ASU-USA Pathway non-credit support classes to help you improve your English and academic performance at the university-level.
When you successfully complete your term within ASU-USA Pathways, you will have the academic credits required to continue your academic career at ASU, or transfer to another U.S. university.
