AZ Transfer Pathways
Each public university major is matched with one of the following Maricopa Community Colleges Associate Degree Pathways. Some majors at the Arizona public universities are not matched with any of the Transfer pathway degrees below, due to sequencing or upper division requirements, and are designated as Transfer Guide-Exceptional Requirements (TG-XR). Students should consult with an advisor to determine the specific degree requirements for the selected major, or visit this website.
