Arizona State University (ASU)

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.
