Programs with extra requirements
For students applying in fall 2026, entering fall 2027
One application covers ASU. Two things work differently:
- Majors with higher requirements. Some degree programs have higher aptitude requirements than the university's general ones; ASU's Degree Search lists them by program. If your first-choice major has higher requirements, you will be asked to choose a second major without them.
- Barrett, The Honors College. A separate application. It opens in early September and its early action deadline is November 1. ASU highly recommends applying to the university before that deadline, since the honors application needs your ASU credentials.

Majors
258 majors across 14 schools. Every bachelor's degree major ASU's official Degree Search lists on its in-person campuses, grouped by the college that offers it, with the degree it leads to. Concentrations are folded into their major. Online-only programs, minors, certificates and graduate programs are left out.
