ASU instructors are leaders in their fields of study. You can learn from professors who have won Nobel and Pulitzer Prizes, who are members of the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and who are MacArthur and Guggenheim Fellows. And equally as important as their credentials — ASU professors are student-focused mentors here to help you succeed.
Coursework at ASU goes far beyond classroom lectures, incorporating opportunities to learn by doing the things you’ll actually be doing in your career.
ASU students are the recipients of prestigious scholarships and fellowships – awards such as the Rhodes, Marshall and Churchill scholarships and the Fulbright student award. And qualified students study in ASU’s Barrett, The Honors College — called the “gold standard" of the nation’s honors colleges by The New York Times — where they enjoy exclusive opportunities for research, internships and study abroad.
