Arizona State University

Recognized by U.S. News & World Report as the country's most innovative school, Arizona State University is where students and faculty work with NASA to develop, advance and lead innovations in space exploration.

This is where Nobel laureates and Pulitzer Prize winners teach master learners. This is where nationally ranked and internationally ranked programs prepare next-generation innovators to thrive while advancing pioneering research, strategic partnerships, entrepreneurship and economic development.

ASU's nationally ranked programs inspire the top-qualified graduates and have positioned the university as a “top-tier” recruiting and hiring institution by more than 50 of the country's top corporations, according to professional recruiters and rankings services around the world.

ASU graduates more than 27,000 thinkers, innovators and master learners every year. Take a deeper look at how ASU is building the next generation of leaders.

At Arizona State University, you'll join a community that will help you explore your interests and learn new skills. Through quality academics, enrichment opportunities, and support from friends and faculty, you'll graduate prepared to accomplish your goals throughout your life.

Incoming students admitted for fall 2021 are invited to attend specially designed live-hosted virtual events presented by current students and the university community to learn more about your major, next steps, financial aid and scholarships, and the ASU experience. These sessions will help ensure you are ready for success in becoming a Sun Devil.

Find the perfect major. With more than 800 degree programs to choose from — taught by skilled, student-focused professors — you'll have the knowledge, experiences and opportunities to deeply explore your interests. Whether you're an undergraduate student pursuing a bachelor's degree or a graduate student pursuing a master's or doctoral program, we can help you find the program that fits you.

When you search undergraduate degrees , you'll see a description of the program, a major map that shows the classes you'll need to take each semester to complete the degree, and a list of careers (including salaries) you can enter with that major.

If you don't yet know what to major in, ASU offers exploratory programs in several fields so you can get a taste of multiple areas of study before you commit to a program. Exploratory programs are designed so you don't lose any time or credit toward your degree. Or you can use ASU's exclusive major and career quiz, me3 ® , which can help you narrow it down.

As a first-year student, you'll pay ASU for tuition and fees, on-campus housing and meals. Books and supplies, transportation, and personal expenses will vary depending on your spending choices and should be budgeted into your college expenses.

Whether you prefer to be in the heart of a big metropolitan city (the nation's fifth-largest to be exact), can't wait to show off your ASU spirit at all of the home football games, or want a more quiet, serene setting — there's a campus for you.
