The School of Sustainability has higher admission requirements. Applicants must select a second choice for their major on the application.

Students with more than 45 transfer hours who are not admissible to University College will be contacted to select an appropriate major.
Freshman applicants must meet the following standards:
Transfer students (with 12 or more transfer hours after high school graduation) are required to have a cumulative transfer GPA of 3.30 or higher.
ASU students who would like to change their major to sustainability are required to have a cumulative ASU GPA of 3.30 or higher (based on at least 12 credit hours).
We encourage all international students to contact the International Student Office (ISO) for additional information on attending ASU, such as visas and SEVIS I-20's. If admitted to ASU, you will be required to attend a mandatory ISO orientation when you arrive on campus to begin study. The ISO website is an essential resource for all international students. Undergraduate Admissions also provides detailed information for international students applying to ASU.
