All Justice Studies students must complete nine upper-division (300-499) credit hours in a related area other than JUS courses. Courses may be chosen from a variety of disciplines, as shown below. At least one course must be chosen from one of the disciplines in the School of Social Transformation (AFR, AMS, APA, SST or WST). The related area courses may not be used concurrently in the major. However, in order to facilitate and encourage the student's completion of a minor, approved courses for the related area may be used in the minor.
All students pursuing a BS or BSP degree in The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences must complete two courses from the Science and Society list found at https://thecollege.asu.edu/resources/science-society. At least one of the two courses must be upper-division and students must earn a C or better in the courses. Both Science and Society courses (i.e., all six credits) may count towards any major, minor, related fields, and ASU General Studies requirements.

Students on Polytechnic, Downtown Phoenix and West Campuses are encouraged to complete the Directed Self-Placement survey to choose the first-year composition option they believe best suits their needs.

Mathematics Placement Assessment score determines placement in first mathematics course.

Please keep in mind that the applicability of a specific transfer course toward an ASU degree program depends on the requirements of the department, division, college or school in which you are enrolled at ASU. Transfer agreements that guarantee the completion of university level requirements do not necessarily meet college and major requirements. Please consult with an advisor for more information.
