Acceso ASU

The objective

To increase access to higher education at ASU, to interested DREAMers and other bilingual English-Spanish students, while offering them an international and intercultural experience at select Mexican universities. 

 

Who is eligible?

Currently enrolled ASU undergraduate students, both immersive and online.

What is it?

Acceso ASU allows students to take online courses included in the ASU’s Transfer Guide, offered by select Mexican university partners. While enrolled at a Mexican university, students pay that university’s tuition and can benefit from different tuition rates. Mexican partners’ tuition starts from approximately $150 USD per course. 

Once students successfully pass courses at the Mexican university partners, they can submit their transcript to ASU to have credits evaluated for transfer to their ASU program.

 

How does it work?

Students are encouraged to consult their academic advisors to identify which courses included in the ASU’s Transfer Guide, offered by Acceso ASU’s Mexican partners, are suitable for transfer to their specific program. A list of advisors is available here.

For course descriptions offered by Mexican partners, not provided in the ASU’s Transfer Guide, please visit this PDF icon link for Tecmilenio and this PDF icon link for UNITEC.

In addition to the potential economic benefit, students can:

1. Practice Spanish language skills through academic immersion

2. Enrich their academic experience with an international focus

3. Earn an acknowledgement of international experience, upon taking three online courses with a university partner

How do I search for courses offered by the participating Mexican universities?

  • University of Guadalajara (UdeG)
  • Technological University of Mexico (UNITEC)
  • Universidad Tecmilenio

What types of courses have been evaluated for the Acceso program?
