Arizona State University is a comprehensive public research university that measures itself by whom it includes and how they succeed; advances research and discovery of public value; and assumes fundamental responsibility for the economic, social, cultural and overall health of the communities it serves. ASU champions intellectual and cultural diversity. Its research is use-inspired, breaking the boundaries that traditionally separate academic disciplines. ASU has been named the #1 school in the country for innovation by U.S. News & World Report for the last two years, ahead of #2 Stanford and #3 MIT, and the top U.S. public university for international students by the Institute of International Education. ASU's Tempe campus offers hundreds of majors that engage undergraduates and graduates in multidisciplinary research and exploration in first-rate laboratories and facilities. Students pursue a wide range of majors including business, liberal arts, design, engineering and the sciences. At ASU, students customize their college experiences by augmenting their classroom study with opportunities for research, study abroad, leading student clubs, volunteering and more. Students can also customize the way they learn, choosing 7.5- or 15-week semesters, online or in-person classes, obtaining concurrent degrees or pursuing a master's degree while earning an undergraduate degree. ASU emphasizes innovation and entrepreneurship -- here students can invent products or start ventures with the full guidance and support of the university. With an unrivaled commitment to sustainability, the Tempe campus is the most solar-powered of any in the U.S., exemplified by massive solar structures providing shaded walkways and parking across the campus. It also offers easy access to all of metropolitan Phoenix through public transit including light rail. The expanded fitness complex welcomes students to take a break from their studies and focus on their health, while the Sun Devil Athletics facilities, performing arts venues, including the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Gammage Auditorium, museums and vibrant downtown Tempe location complement this diverse university environment.
