WELD 1053 — Fundamentals of Welding
1Senior specialty courses have unconditional admission requirements of 2.75 GPA and college-level placement test scores. Students with GPAs or test scores that fall below the unconditional admission threshold may be required to take CNAS 1005 Pre-CNA or EMER 1006 in the fall semester to improve eligibility for senior specialty admission in the spring semester. **Because employers in the healthcare field require all applicants to pass a criminal background check and drug test as a condition of employment, ASU Mid-South requires students in the Health Science Technology pathway to undergo a criminal background check and drug screening prior to enrollment in any of the senior specialty courses. Students under the age of 18 will be required to obtain written parental consent for these screenings. Students in the Health Science Technology pathway should also be aware that some employers will not hire applicants under the age of 18, applicants who do not have a high school diploma or GED®, and/or applicants who have not passed state certification/licensure exams. Students must successfully complete two years of required Medical Professions prerequisite coursework on the ASU Mid-South campus. Students should contact lead faculty for information about the requirements for specific areas of specialization. 3 WELD 11231 Shielded Metal Arc Welding – SMAW BUSN 1201 Career Preparation Certificate of Proficiency: Shielded Metal Arc Welding 4 WELD 11331 Gas Metal Arc Welding – GMAW Certific
