Arizona State University’s Global Freshman Academy was supposed to open up undergraduate education to thousands of students, but it never quite lived up to the hype. ASU is now taking a new approach, the Earned Admission pathway that allows any person over 22 years old to gain admission to ASU if they complete four courses and earn a 2.75 GPA.
So far the students who have taken courses through Earned Admission have demonstrated much greater motivation than those who studied through Global Freshman Academy.
