Homeschool students
Apply to ASU to earn your degree online
The unique experiences of homeschool students contribute to the diversity of ASU Online. If you graduated high school in a homeschool setting and have not completed an associate degree or higher (or the Arizona General Education Curriculum), then you are considered a homeschool student.
