ASU is committed to helping students thrive by offering tools that allow personalization of the transfer path to ASU. Students may use MyPath2ASU® to outline a list of recommended courses to take prior to transfer.
ASU has transfer partnerships in Arizona and across the country to create a simplified transfer experience for students. These pathway programs include exclusive benefits, tools and resources, and they help students save time and money in their college journey.
As globalization continues to impact the way the world lives and works, international experiences have become vital to our health care communities across the world. Through international study and internships, students can gain valuable skills that employers are looking for: communication and interpersonal skills, flexibility, motivation and a real-life perspective on business applications worldwide. Immersion in a foreign culture will help students gain a new perspective on how to provide critical health care for diverse populations of various backgrounds. A Global Education program contributes to this work by enabling participating students to improve their interpersonal and language skills while broadening their understandings of international business practices.
The W. P. Carey School of Business recommends these programs for students majoring in business health care.
Graduates possess the ability to understand different stakeholders in complex environments, and they are prepared for careers in public or private health care settings related to health care management, administration, access, analytics and policy-setting.
