University Foundation Program
Earn college creditsTwo options
Accelerated tracks allow high-school students to take university courses and earn credits in their major.
Universal Learner Courses are first-year courses open to anyone, with the credit decision left until the end. ASU Online Courses are the upper-level route for students already working toward a major.
Option 1
First-year university courses, open to everyone, with no risk until you decide.
Current fees and payment options are confirmed during counseling and published through the approved fee schedule.
Option 2
Upper-level courses for students earning credit toward a chosen major.
Current fees and payment options are confirmed during counseling and published through the approved fee schedule.
Upper-level credit
When students are ready to earn upper-level credit toward their college major, 200+ online courses are available.
Students are on an accelerated path to a degree when they follow a career pathway.
Earning credit toward the major while in high school reduces time to degree.
Students are prepared for the rigor of becoming full-time, degree-seeking college students.
Exact timelines, accepted credits and remaining degree requirements vary by program and are determined through formal academic evaluation.
Concurrent course options
High-school subjects run in sequence, with university courses taken concurrently alongside them — one continuous track toward a college major and career.
An example sequence, shown to illustrate how connected academic routes can be built. Course availability and eligibility are determined by the university.

Start in Pakistan. Progress with purpose.
Some students begin eligible university coursework online from Pakistan and later complete their remaining degree requirements at ASU.
Beginning coursework from home may help you build academic momentum, adjust to university-level study, and reduce the portion of your education that must be completed abroad.
How much of a degree can be completed this way depends on the program you select, your academic performance, formal admission, and the university's official evaluation of your credits.
Phase 1 — In Pakistan
Study university courses from Karachi with local support, while remaining close to home.
Phase 2 — At the university
Continue on campus for the requirements that remain after formal academic evaluation.
Exact timelines, accepted credits and remaining degree requirements vary by program and are determined through formal academic evaluation.
This illustration does not describe a fixed duration. It does not mean that a four-year degree is automatically reduced to two years.

Start with a conversation. We will tell you plainly what is possible, what it requires, and what it does not guarantee.
