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.

Is an essay question required for admission? If so, is there one specific one or can you pick from a list?

    Is it possible to be accepted into the Cronkite School if your GPA is a little under 3.0? My SAT scores are WELL over the requirement of 1040. I'd figure that high test scores would make up for a GPA that's a little under the listed requirement.

      great question, unfortunately no, the GPA is a requirement. But you are welcome to appeal to Cronkite to admit you. Otherwise you can enter Cronkite after your first semester if you maintain above a 3.0 at ASU.

      What is the GPA, SAT score, and ACT score of the average student to receive a scholarship to ASU
      • 531
        ASU Casey Thomas
        Hi Zachary! There is no minimum academic information necessary. we look at your GPA, class rank, and test scores in combination to determine your scholarships. the higher those things are the more money you can recieve. alternately, if you have a great GPA and low test scores (or vice versa) you may still qualify for some aid. You can use our scholarship estimator to see what you might be eligible for http://students.asu.edu/scholarships/estimator
