Arizona State University (ASU)

(Tempe, AZ)

Arizona State University is a public, comprehensive university. Founded as a Normal school in 1885, it gained university status in 1958. ASU has four distinctive campuses in the Phoenix area. You will study at the campus of your major, but you may take classes and enjoy activities across all campuses. Each campus has a unique environment and its own mix of academic programs, and all offer contemporary classrooms and laboratory space, residence halls and recreation facilities.

ASU’s Tempe campus welcomes students studying a wide range of majors. Liberal arts and sciences are popular as well as business, engineering, performing arts, design and sustainability programs. Its 716-acre campus is near downtown Tempe, close to the center of metropolitan Phoenix. All of ASU's PAC-12 athletics are played on the Tempe Campus.

I knew that about the study abroad programs. I wanted to know if there were any first year opportunities though because I only could find second or third year ones.

    Oh, I gotcha. No generally we do not have second semester freshman opportunities. For 2 reasons. 1) you haven't completed enough of your intro classes for your degree program and 2) usually for semesters abroad you need to know another language and you wouldn't have had enough time at the college-level of that language. The earliest you could go on a trip would be the summer after your freshman year. This is a good thing because it gives you time to save up money for a trip!

Are there any study abroad opportunities for second semester students?

    Of course! ASU has over 330 study abroad opportunities to 60 different countries. You can go for a semester, a year, or just a summer. You will want to check with your ASU college to see if they have any study abroad programs and with our Study Abroad Office https://studyabroad.asu.edu/
