ASU Course Reviews

  • “I was able to enroll in a few ASU online courses to stay on track for a four-year graduation. I enjoyed the hybrid nature of my schedule as it allowed me to enjoy my host city to the fullest while still being a part of an in-person setting for a couple lessons and class excursions weekly.” 

    Christopher V. | Rome | Finance major

  • “I was able to take ASU online courses and do an internship course abroad. I felt like I had so much support from my professors and team abroad. It helped me apply what I was learning in the classroom to the real world.” 

    Yerosan B. | Dubin | Business Technology major

  • “Taking ASU courses online while being abroad helped relax my anxiety towards the idea that studying abroad would slow my academic development. Since I could take the courses I needed for my degree online through ASU, I kept on track with my graduation requirements I needed and study abroad, which has always been a dream of mine.” 

    Alex S. | Madrid | Sports Business major

  • “I chose to study abroad with ASU Global Flex because the structure of the program allows for flexibility and endless opportunities. I am able to stay on track with my degree because I am able to take ASU courses online during my time abroad. I plan on traveling overseas for the first time in my life to study in Madrid, Spain next semester. I have wanted to visit Spain for as long as I can remember, and I am so excited that Global Flex is making it possible for me to fulfill that dream and stay on track for my degree.”
