You qualify to apply as a graduate applicant at Arizona State University if you have earned, or expect to earn before enrollment, a bachelor's degree or higher from an accredited institution in the United States or an equivalent degree from a recognized international institution.
If you earned your degree outside the United States, ASU evaluates your academic credentials as part of the admission process to determine whether your degree is equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's degree or higher. This evaluation helps ensure that your academic background meets the university's graduate admission requirements.
If you are unsure whether your degree qualifies, review the graduate admission requirements before you apply or contact Graduate Admission Services for guidance.
