ASU transfer program leads student on path to accounting degree Nicolette Rios' path to higher education took an unconventional route. At the age of 16, she was working at a preschool with no intention of pursuing college. However, as time passed, she began to feel unfulfilled and decided to make a change, enrolling at Phoenix College due to its flexibility and affordability. Today, the Arizona State University transfer student is on her way to completing her online Bachelor of Science in accountancy with the W. P. Carey School of Business, thanks to ASU's transfer program, MyPath2ASU . “I have seen what a transfer program looks like without a pathway, and it can be extremely stressful,” Rios said. Read more about her inspiring journey to ASU.
