Associate in Transfer Partnership Degree - Global Business
Student Goals: Transfer to Arizona State University west campus.
The Associate in Transfer Partnership Degree (ATP) is specifically developed for students who have identified Global Business as a major and are planning to transfer to Arizona State University west campus (ASUW).
The ATP degree requires a core of general education credits in the following general education categories: First-Year Composition (6 credits); Mathematics (3 credits); Natural Sciences (4 credits); and Humanities and Fine Arts/Social and Behavioral Sciences or related area general education requirements (6 credits). Also include in the ATP degree are the general education and major requirements to meet the lower division requirements of the major at the baccalaureate degree-granting institution. The ATP degree must consist of at least a minimum of 60 credit hours but no more than 64 credit hours.
The ATP in Global Business does not assure admission to the specific program at the baccalaureate degree-granting institution. Students participating in the ATP degree will be treated as “native” students by the upper division institution in terms of course evaluation and course changes.
Frequent communication with community college and university advisors is the best safeguard when selecting first and second year courses. Requirements may change from year to year. Upon completion of 36 credit hours, including the 19 credit hour general education core, students are strongly encouraged to meet with an ASU west campus School of Management advisor regarding the selection of course work to meet the 60 credit minimum.
