MiraCosta College and Arizona State University Partner to Offer College Students Transfer Pathways with MyPath2ASUTM Collaboration

MiraCosta College is pleased to announce a new alliance with Arizona State University (ASU) to provide students a seamless transfer experience with the MyPath2ASUTM program. MyPath2ASUTM allows students to take the steps needed, at the start of their college experience, to successfully plan their transfer to ASU, ensuring a smooth transition process and student success. 

MyPath2ASUTM is a set of customized tools available to transfer students from accredited, U.S. regional institutions. These tools ensure a seamless transfer experience to ASU after earning credits or an associate degree from a U.S. community college or university and shortening the time to degree completion.

“This innovative partnership provides yet another pathway for MiraCosta College graduates to continue their higher education goals through seamless transfer to one of Arizona State University’s highly recognized programs,” explains MiraCosta College Superintendent/President Dr. Sunita “Sunny” Cooke.

Through this partnership, students using MyPath2ASUTM will find their transfer experience simplified. They will have access to personalized benefits to help them navigate the transfer experience, to include:

• End-to-end learner navigation through course-by-course guided pathways
• Ensure course applicability by assisting students with taking courses that apply to their associate
  and ASU bachelor’s degree
• Guaranteed general admission to ASU and admission into MyPath2ASUTM major choice if all
  requirements are satisfied; Some majors have additional or higher admission requirements
• More than 400 course-by-course guided pathways into immersion and online ASU degree
  programs
• Self-service, degree progress tracking through My Transfer Guide to minimize loss of credit
• Connected experience through personalized ASU communications to prepare academically and build a connection to ASU

ASU and MiraCosta College will work collaboratively to promote educational degree pathways containing ground and online course offerings. These pathways will ensure their courses are applicable toward their degree in their chosen major and minimize credit loss.
