Academic requirements
First-year students must:
- Have a 3.00 grade point average (GPA) (a "B" or better where "A"=4.00) from a secondary school. Some ASU programs may have higher admission or English proficiency requirements and may consider a minimum ACT or SAT score.
- Must have three years of high school coursework. (If you are currently in high school, ASU needs to see 9–11 grade coursework. If you have completed high school, ASU needs to see 10–12 grade coursework.)
- Must have and present a completed high school diploma or certificate.
Conditional admission
ASU may offer conditional undergraduate admission to international applicants to an on-campus program who meet the academic (aptitude) requirements but who are not proficient in English. This offer of conditional admission will give you time to improve your English proficiency before you start classes at ASU. Your conditional admission offer is good for up to three semesters, during which time you must meet one of these requirements to begin your ASU experience.
Competency requirements
International students who completed high school outside the U.S. are required to meet the following competency requirements:
- Math: four years (algebra I, geometry, algebra II and one course requiring algebra II as a prerequisite).
- Laboratory science: three years total (one year each from any of the following areas are accepted: biology, chemistry, earth science, integrated sciences and physics).
Provide evidence of English language proficiency (TOEFL 61)
Additional information
The BS program in integrative social science uses cross-education to prepare students in the disciplines of the social sciences to meet the complex issues that confront today's society. Modern social problems require a combination of policies, sociological interventions and economic infrastructure planning.
Theories from multiple social science disciplines provide the basis for effective decision-making and problem-solving. The emphasis of the program is the integration of theories and methodologies. In order to sharpen their skills for practical problem-solving, students need to understand how different disciplines develop solutions.
Graduates of the program are prepared with theory and research skill sets that allow them to draw from the best of multiple disciplines in the social sciences as they confront a technically sophisticated world.
Concurrent program options
Students pursuing concurrent degrees (also known as a “double major”) earn two distinct degrees and receive two diplomas. Working with their academic advisors, students can create their own concurrent degree combination. Some combinations are not possible due to high levels of overlap in curriculum.
Accelerated program options
This program allows students to obtain both a bachelor's and master's degree in as little as five years. It is offered as an accelerated bachelor's plus master's degree with:
- Integrative Social Science, MS
Acceptance to the graduate program requires a separate application. Students typically receive approval to pursue the accelerated master’s during the junior year of their bachelor's degree program.
Global opportunities
Global experience
Students are able to enhance their understanding of societal structure and human interaction through unique cultural experiences found by studying abroad. They gain heightened cultural competency, communication and critical thinking skills while exploring a new and exciting part of the world.
Because of their mastery of the multiple methodologies of the social sciences, graduates of the program have many more professional opportunities available to them than their peers with single-discipline training.
Professionals with expertise in analyzing complex social and global issues are in high demand across sectors and industries, including business, public administration, politics and community organizations. Those who possess skills in the analysis of social phenomena and complex social problems are valuable to businesses and institutions relying on data-driven strategies for engagement and growth.
Career examples include:
- administrator
- government agent
- public relation specialist
- social and community service manager
- social science research analyst
- social scientist
- solutions resource specialist
