What Online Programs and Degree Fields Does ASU Online Offer?

Updated

ASU Online offers 400+ accredited online degree programs and certificates spanning the humanities, business, science, nursing, engineering, and more. You can browse them by interest area — Arts, culture and society; Business; Education; Engineering; Health and nursing; Law, compliance and public service; Science; Social and behavioral sciences; and Technology — and the catalog covers multiple credential levels, from bachelor's degrees to master's degrees and certificates.

Degree fields available

ASU Online organizes its programs into broad interest areas rather than a single flat list. According to the site, these are the topics you can select to explore related degrees:

  • Arts, culture and society
  • Business
  • Education
  • Engineering
  • Health and nursing
  • Law, compliance and public service
  • Science
  • Social and behavioral sciences
  • Technology

This structure matters if you already know your subject interest but not the exact credential — you start from the field and narrow down to a specific program.

Program types and levels

The catalog is described as "400+ online degree programs," and the site references both degrees and certificates. A student testimonial on the page comes from a master's-level program (MS in nursing education), and ASU Online also highlights online bachelor's programs — it cites a Top 10 ranking for online bachelor's programs, 2026. So the range spans undergraduate degrees, graduate degrees, and certificates, though the page does not list every credential type per field.

How to browse programs by interest

  1. Go to the "Browse online programs by interest" section.
  2. Select the topic that matches your goal (for example, Business or Health and nursing).
  3. Review the related degrees and certificates returned for that topic.
  4. Compare the specific program that fits your goals.

The expected result is a filtered set of programs within your chosen field, which you can then evaluate individually.

Admission pathways to keep in mind

Program availability can depend on which applicant category you fall into. The site lists these admission information paths:

  • First-year
  • Transfer
  • Starbucks
  • Homeschool
  • International
  • Graduate
  • Military
  • Nondegree

If you are, for example, an international or military applicant, check the corresponding admission page before assuming a program's entry requirements apply uniformly.

What the degrees share

Regardless of field, ASU Online states that its online degrees are accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and are recognized by employers and graduate schools as equivalent to its campus degrees. The university also describes the curriculum as future-ready, including the use of innovative tools such as artificial intelligence, and taught by faculty who are industry leaders and award-winning researchers.

A practical note on scholarships

Eligible ASU Online students are automatically considered for scholarships at admission after submitting a FAFSA — no separate application is required. If cost is part of your decision, submitting the FAFSA is the step that triggers that consideration.

To move from browsing to deciding, start with your interest area, confirm the credential level you need, then check the admission path that matches your situation.
