This program lets students start undergraduate studies at ASU while they raise their English proficiency and academic grades. They will take a combination of English language and academic courses, and receive extra support to prepare them for degree-level study in the USA. By successfully completing ASU-USA Pathways, they will earn transferable credits and are guaranteed admission to Year 1 of selected ASU majors.

The BS program in Biology, with an emphasis in the natural sciences, examines these disciplines through experiential learning, and all of the program's core courses include laboratories. By learning in an integrative environment that emphasizes the connectedness of the life sciences, students gain a better understanding of larger scientific concepts and can view these concepts from multiple perspectives.

Students are encouraged to conduct independent research under the mentorship of faculty members or during internships. Some even publish in top journals and present their results at scientific meetings.

Graduates are prepared for employment with state and federal agencies or private organizations such as biomedical laboratories and environmental consultancies, or to enter graduate or doctoral programs in human or veterinary medicine, pharmacy, dentistry or scientific research.
