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
In the BS program in health sciences, students learn about health care systems and how systems are financed and structured. Leadership and professionalism are highlighted, along with the role of providers in delivering evidence-based care, and students develop ethical and effective communication skills. Today's challenges are analyzed, leading graduates to develop innovative solutions.
Students choose focus areas in:
- community-based health outcomes
- health legislation and regulation
- health and media
- integrative care
- mental and behavioral health
A limited number of students each year may apply to pursue the echocardiography certificate through Mayo Clinic after taking prerequisite courses. Once the certificate is completed, students may transfer the credits to ASU and apply credits toward the bachelor's degree in health sciences. Interested students should seek advising before starting coursework.
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:
- Global Management, MGM
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
Study abroad provides health sciences students with the opportunity to develop a valuable skill set, such as flexibility and communication skills, that can give them an advantage in their professional career. Students gain personal enrichment through exposure to unique health environments, where they learn culturally specific health approaches and much more.
Graduates are prepared to continue their education in graduate or professional school or to enter the health field or health care workforce in a variety of capacities, including indirect patient, direct patient and community care roles.
Career opportunities includes:
- elder services program coordinator
- health maintenance organization or insurance company client coach
- health and patient educator
- Healthy Start coordinator
- home health care coordinator
- long-term care health and wellness coordinator
- school health and program specialist
- Women, Infants and Children (WIC) and community nutrition aide
Graduates also may choose to pursue advanced degree programs in various discipline-specific medical fields.
