Completing each MasterTrack course with an 80% or higher passing grade provides you three credits on an ASU transcript. To receive the university-issued certificate from Arizona State University, you must complete all three courses with a cumulative GPA of 3.0. Successfully completing your entire MasterTrack Program with a 3.0 GPA on the first attempt is a pathway to the Master of Computer Science (MCS), where only an additional 21 credits will be needed to receive your degree. You must have earned a bachelor’s degree or higher from a regionally accredited institution in the U.S. or the equivalent of a U.S. bachelor’s degree from an international institution that is officially recognized by that country in order to be eligible for the MCS.

You will have access to onboarding materials once you are admitted. However, you will not be able to access for-credit course material until the session starts.
