HOUSTON, TX -- Lone Star College recently signed an articulation agreement with Arizona State University (ASU) to assist students with a smooth transfer to the four-year university via the MyPath2ASU™ Program.

• End-to-end learner navigation through course-by-course guided pathways

• Guaranteed general admission to ASU and admission into MyPath2ASU™ 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
