Hello I am a current community college student and I am wrapping up my associates degree in engineering this summer. My next step after CC would be to transfer or enroll into a school with a bachelors program in engineering and I stumbled upon ASU's online programs for engineering degrees. To be honest I wasn't aware that some schools offer undergrad programs especially in Engineering and I am now both curious about applying to this type of program but some concerns are in order.

My main question would be the type of job opportunities that the online engineering programs would have and how many online engineering alumni or current students from ASU's online school have managed to land themselves work, internship, or research positions and whether or not pursuing this degree was worth it or not.

Any insight that you guys could give about the online engineering program that ASU has would be greatly appreciated!

I graduated from high school more than 20 years ago where I took math through geometry as well as an intro to physical science class, biology, and anatomy, physiology and genetics, but I’ve never taken calculus, trigonometry, chemistry or physics.

Since then, I’ve gotten undergrad and graduate degrees in social science and humanities. I’m considering applying for the online Mechanical Engineering program, but would need to prove proficiency in physics and calculus.

Would StraighterLine’s programs do that? Or is there another way that’s affordable to essentially get these high school credits?

Has anyone received their summer refund? My aid has been applied to my account since 05/12 I believe… last session I got my money 3 business days after disbursement-

Hello i was wondering if the zoom Exam review sessions help a lot for MAT amd MAE classes this is my first time on asu online 😭🙏

For context im a freshman accountancy major that started yesterday. For my readings I personally vastly prefer the standard Microsoft pdf viewer, I think Adobe is kind of annoying.

For asu veterans, does it matter which pdf software I use?

Anyone taken ASU Online CHM 113 while working full-time? My advisor recommended taking chem at a CC because ASU’s condensed format is rough, but none of the CC schedules work for me. I’ve struggled with chem before (mostly bad study habits tbh 😅). Is it manageable if I lock in? Any professor/resource recommendations?

Has anyone taken his classes whether it's online or in person? I just started this class with him online (it opened up on May 17) and I already feel like either dropping the class or emailing him and telling him how horrible it is.

He is so unorganized and he just has videos of other professors' lectures - he doesn't even seem present in the course. The homework problems have absolutely nothing to do with the videos. I'm paying all this money just to teach myself the material even though it homework problems are expert level. You can't become expert level on 5+ topics within a week, over and over again. He makes you cram at least 5 assignments every week plus exams that I hear are only a handfull of questions.

Just wanted to see if anyone had these issues with him and if they decided to push through it or not.

Hello everyone happy first day to summer school. My course OGL 340 is not open! This is my first time a course not being open on start date. Trying to get ahead what do I do?

Hello! I start SCM 300 this session and I am genuinely terrified after looking at the class. The 3 exams are worth 80% of the grade. I happen to be the worst exam taker of all time, the highest score I've gotten on an exam in college was 75% and that was after spending 8 hours a day studying for an entire week. This class doesn't even have open notes on the exams but they do require a calculator which means theres math involved, another thing I am reallt bad at. Has anyone else taken this class with similar issues taking exams? I really don't want to fail this class as its a degree requirement but I can't see myself passing if my entire grade revolves around 3 exams.

Hello! I am an ASUOnline Organizational Leadership major taking OGL350 Diversity and Organizations and for one of my assignments this summer I need to interview a non-family member that meets these qualifications:

• To qualify as a suitable interview subject, the person must identify strongly with that culture or group.
• The interview subject must have heritage from outside of the United States. 
• The individual's heritage must be different from yours.
  • I am white, born and raised in the US Midwest!

And is okay with:

• A 45 minute virtual interview, likely over Zoom, non-recorded
• I will be asking a series of of questions around race, gender, socio-economic status, culture and tradition, religion, language and ethnicity, and how they have shaped your experiences
• I will be taking notes
• Participation is voluntary and can quit at any time without penalty or loss

Thank you for any interest! I am in CST but will accommodate what I need to make this an easy experience for you!

Edit: typo

Thinking of transferring to ASU online. I have about 10 transferrable courses but would like to save $$ where I can. Does anyone have experience with Sophia credits transferring to ASU? I’ll be majoring in Business HR

I'm taking him session B of this upcoming fall semester and am wondering how he is at teaching.

I recently spoke with one of the enrollment counselors but I still have a few questions.

I’m considering the business law BA so if you do that or something similar how many hours a day typically dictate to course work or if you work how many assignments would you say you typically have?

Do you feel that you’re learning well on the 7.5 schedule?

To be clear I’m not looking for easy, I just don’t want to be drowning in busy work.

who is here for graduation? i am nervous and insecure that i will be one of the few online students participating.

So I start on Monday and I have a -1500 SAI. I got awarded loans for summer, but no grants. If I qualify for max aid I should at least recieve some pell grant?

It's showing that that is my finalized aid but I called finaid earlier this week and they said they'll put in a help request, I checked its status yesterday and it was just marked as resolved with no update.

Is anyone else having this issue?

I’m taking SWU 171 in the summer and I just want to know what to expect. I see that I have to buy a book from the bookstore but as far as the coursework what should I be expecting? Also when would the class be showing up on Canvas? I want to try and get a head start on some stuff. I’m taking ENG 102 and SWU 171 this summer session I just want to make sure I have enough time to get a schedule together.

Not me but a friend,

Their counselor signed them up for housing without any notice, they don't attend ASU as a student, but is getting charged for rent, and a late fee despite never attending or notice.

This amount is extremely hefty for someone who didnt have any notice nor attended. Has anyone been in a situation like this, or dealt with an issue like this? Any advice helps.

I hope the 42 students now enrolled in this class in C session Fall 2026 realize that it no longer will meet General Studies Gold QTRS. Spring C appears to be the last time it counted towards QTRS.
