Freshmen and High School Student Information

Welcome to the Mary Lou Fulton College of Education, and thank you for considering ASU Tempe Campus! The following links provide you with information about our various undergraduate degree programs, scholarship opportunities, admission criteria, and registration information for new student orientations.

All newly admitted students to ASU are admitted to the College as pre-professional education majors. Pre-professional students are advised by a team of academic advisors whose primary focus is to prepare students for admission into the Initial Teacher Certification (ITC) program during their junior year.
