edX is partnering with Arizona State University to bring prospective students the Global Freshman Academy - a first of its kind collaboration that offers university credit for freshman level courses on edX.

Here are highlights of the program:

Credit For Everyone

You can take courses and earn credit without submitting a transcript or going through an application process. Earning credit is all about the work you put in during the course.

Pay When You Pass

You get all of the learning with none of the financial risk. Choose to pay for university credit only after you've successfully passed a course.

Learn On Your Schedule

You can conveniently earn credit toward a degree on your schedule. Perfect for any student trying to balance work, life and education.
