Academic requirements
First-year students must:
- Have a 2.5 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 requirements:
Students applying to this program must have completed an AAS degree. This program is not available to first-year students.
Transfer admission requirements:
The BAS program is specifically for those who have earned an Associate of Applied Science degree from a regionally accredited institution. Students pursuing this degree may have more than 60 credit hours to complete in order to obtain their Bachelor of Applied Science following transfer to ASU. In completing the bachelor's degree program, students fulfill all ASU graduation requirements.
Speciality
This program may be eligible for an Optional Practical Training extension for up to 24 months. This OPT work authorization period may help international students gain skills and experience in the U.S. Those interested in an OPT extension should review ASU degrees that qualify for the STEM-OPT extension at ASU's International Students and Scholars Center website.
The OPT extension only applies to students on an F-1 visa and does not apply to students completing a degree through ASU Online.

Additional information
Program description
The BAS program with a concentration in health sciences is specifically designed for students who have earned an AAS from a regionally accredited institution and wish to further their education through a health-focused bachelor's degree program.
Students learn about health care systems and how these systems are financed and structured. Leadership and professionalism are highlighted, along with the role of providers in delivering evidence-based care.
Students develop ethical and effective communication skills, analyze today's challenges and develop innovative solutions that prepare them for careers in the health care workforce.
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.
Global opportunities
Global experience
With more than 300 programs available, study abroad allows students to tailor their experience to their unique interests and skill sets. Students in health sciences are able to expand their knowledge of how health care impacts society in a variety of cultures, and experience new and unique health environments across the globe. The valuable experience that students acquire while studying abroad enhances their resume.
Career opportunities
Graduates can return to their original area of expertise in allied health (e.g., radiology, nuclear imaging) and qualify for a managerial position, be an educator or instructor within their field of expertise, or attain a higher-grade position within their current place of employment.
Other career options include positions such as:
- 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
