Can I enter adegree directly?Yes, if you meet all the academic and English requirements, we can help you apply for direct admission to an ASU bachelor’s or master’s degree. Our education advisors are experts in the University’s admission process and will provide valuable support during your application.
What istransfer admission?You can apply for transfer admission into Year 2 or 3 of a bachelor’s degree if you have already studied at another university or college. Your existing undergraduate credit is evaluated for acceptance by ASU: you’ll find out how many credits will transfer with your offer of admission. When you complete your bachelor’s degree, it is awarded by ASU.
What is conditional admission?If you meet all entry requirements for your preferred degree or pathway program except the English level, you may be conditionally accepted to ASU. Students with conditional admission can join ASU’s Intensive English Program to help build the skills needed to be successful at an American university, or can later submit a qualifying English test score.
