ASU degree pages transition
ASU Degree Search to become the sole source of degree information
What is the ASU degree pages transition?
ASU is requiring all academic units to retire their degree and program pages. Beginning Monday, June 1, 2026, all Fulton Schools degree pages must be redirected to the centralized ASU Degree Search catalog pages.
This change is part of a university‑wide effort to ensure accuracy, regulatory compliance and a unified student experience across all ASU digital properties. The good news is that ASU is also vastly improving the degree pages, in design, content and student experience.
More information
The university is responding to several urgent shifts:
- Provide performance and consistency: The new approach aims to simplify, unify and strengthen our degree presence across campus and online audiences.
- Clarity for prospective students: Prospective students expect a singular experience that conveys the value, depth and outcomes of each program.
- Combat AI‑driven search behavior: Search engines and AI-driven search results are incredibly thorough and often display information from outdated information sources, confusing prospective students. A single source strategy ensures ASU presents accurate, complete information.
- Meet regulatory requirements: Degree Search continues to serve as ASU’s public‑facing academic catalog. Updated content must meet expectations from HLC, ABOR, state authorization agencies and other regulatory bodies.
The updated ASU Degree Search experience will include:
- A restructured, user-friendly degree details page, including new sections that can be updated throughout the year and are optimized for SEO and geographic relevance.
- A concise, archival program description that fulfills catalog and accreditation requirements, paired with expanded, student‑centric content that highlights internships, research, job placement, industry connections and other key content.
- A unified content delivery that reduces duplication across units and improves attribution, conversion tracking and marketing effectiveness.
What’s next?
The Fulton Schools Web Services team will coordinate with your school’s communication specialist to do the following:
- Redirect school degree pages.
- Capture and document information on the current degree pages that will not appear on the ASU degree pages and find a new web home for it as needed.
- Collect additional content, such as student testimonials and other elements to include in the more robust ASU degree pages.
With the university’s tight turnaround for this mandated change, we appreciate your partnership and your support of your school’s communicators throughout the process

Frequently asked questions
No. This is an ASU requirement and cannot be overridden by any individual unit across ASU.
Individual concentrations for these programs will be displayed, but we will link out to the ASU degree page for details.
We will work with your embedded communicator to identify content on your schools’ degree pages that is not found on ASU degree pages. We will work to identify a new location within your schools advising pages for this information.
Analytics data for ASU degree pages dispute this claim: the ASU Degree Catalog is the clear “winner” for prospective student explorations, not unit degree pages.
The improved degree pages will have a much improved student experience that would be very difficult to replicate on our websites. In addition, academic units will be able to request changes throughout the year to this information: Marketing text, ONET codes, keywords, accelerated program info, change of major requirements, contact information and, of course, error corrections.
