Can you transfer engineering credits from Glendale Community College to ASU?

I'm planning to study engineering and I'm considering starting at Glendale Community College. Does anyone know if I can transfer my engineering credits to ASU later on? How seamless is the process, if it's possible?

Yes, you can transfer engineering credits from Glendale Community College (GCC) to Arizona State University (ASU). Both institutions are in the state of Arizona, and they tend to have strong transfer agreements to facilitate credit transfer between the institutions.

GCC and ASU even have a partnership program called Maricopa to ASU Pathway Program (MAPP), which is designed to provide students at the community college a seamless transfer experience to ASU. By following a MAPP, you'll know exactly which courses to take at GCC in order to successfully transition into ASU's engineering program. You are encouraged to meet with academic advisors at both GCC and ASU to ensure you're meeting all necessary requirements.

While the process seeks to be as seamless as possible, remember that each university sets its own policies for accepting transfer credits, so not every credit may transfer over. Furthermore, some credits may transfer as elective credits rather than specific class credits. That's why having a conversation with advisors at both schools will be crucial in this process.

It's also important to maintain a solid GPA at GCC, as admission into ASU's engineering program can be competitive. You should consider this as you create your academic plan at GCC.

Remember, every student's situation is unique, so it is always best practice to consult directly with the institutions in question. This ensures the most accurate and current information.
