Maricopa – ASU Pathways Program (MAPP) MAPPs

Beginning October 1, 2009, Maricopa students are able
to choose from many Maricopa – ASU Pathways Program (MAPP) MAPPs leading to majors at ASU. These are some of the most popular majors for Maricopa - to - ASU transfer students.

A MAPP is an articulated associate’s degree to bachelor’s degree transfer program. MAPPs are an excellent option for Maricopa students who are decided about a major area of study, intend to transfer into a particular program at ASU, and commit to specific terms for MAPP completion. These terms include:

• Working with a Maricopa and ASU advisor to
  monitor progress on a MAPP
• Completing the transfer coursework specified on
  the MAPP
• Completing the MAPP in a period not to exceed
  three years with a GPA specified on the MAPP
• Agreeing that student academic data and advising
  information may be shared between Maricopa
  and ASU

MAPPs will be promoted with prospective students, new students, and continuing students who have an AGEC in progress and meet the above conditions. Within the next year, MAPPs will be available for additional ASU majors.

Printed materials have been disseminated to the colleges and are available through the college Marketing departments. Additionally, a section on the Alliance site has been created for Faculty and Staff to access marketing collateral and advising resources .
