Students at the Fulton Schools benefit from a globally diverse student body, bringing a wide range of perspectives and ideas to tackle the world's most significant challenges through engineering and technology.

ASU degree pathways

Students enrolled at an ASU Cintana Alliance Network institution have the chance to start their courses at their home institution and transfer those credits* to finish their remaining years at ASU.

Model available: Undergraduate dual degree and pathway to ASU degree only.

Courses at home university

Up to 90 credit hrs. can be transferred

from ACI to ASU

Students must earn a “C-” or

higher for courses to transfer to ASU

Graduation requirements at partner institution

Courses at ASU
