ASU Transfer Times May 2024
Celebrating ASU's collaborative efforts with our community college partners
Increasing student mobility between ASU and the Maricopa Community Colleges
On April 17, ASU’s Academic Alliances team facilitated an inaugural on-campus open-house fair for Maricopa Community College advisors and staff to learn about the interplay of the district’s fields of interest (FOI) with ASU’s academic units. Representatives from ASU’s colleges and schools were arranged at information tables affiliated with each field of interest. Over 50 participants from nine of the Maricopa Community Colleges attended the event!
Showcasing community college transfer students at ASU's spring graduation
The MyPath2ASU® program has greatly benefited transfer students in helping to not only plan their path to ASU, but in also helping to prepare them for success as a university student. Some of these success stories are featured in our latest highlight of graduating alumni from the Maricopa Community Colleges. These amazing students share their experiences transferring from the community colleges to ASU, and provide advice and anecdotes to encourage students on their own transfer journeys. Let’s celebrate these graduating transfer students!
ASU's College Connections: Final webinar of the season featuring the Fulton Schools of Engineering!
You won’t want to miss the June 14 College Connections webinar spotlighting the newest degrees offered by two schools within ASU’s Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering. These degrees were developed to prepare ASU graduates to excel in the manufacturing, robotics, and semiconductor industries, all of which are expanding quickly in the Phoenix metro area.
The School of Integrated Engineering will offer a brand-new Bachelor of Science in engineering science this fall. The program is flexible and multidisciplinary, integrating math, science and engineering with a specialization in a chosen engineering concentration.
