about Arizona State University

Overview

Amidst a challenging year for global education, Arizona State University tops all public universities on influential Institute of International Education rankings.

ASU is ranked the top public university of choice for international students, according to the 2021 Institute of International Education Open Doors Report, a recognized global leader on the impact that international education has on higher education.

History

On Feb. 8, 1886 — almost 30 years before Arizona was granted statehood — the Territorial Normal School, Arizona’s first higher education institution, opened its doors to 33 students in a four-classroom building in Tempe.

From humble beginnings, and through a series of name changes that led to a 1958 vote of the people and a 2-to-1 margin of victory for the advancement of Arizona State College to Arizona State University, ASU’s century-plus trajectory has led to its being recognized as the “most innovative” university in the country by U.S. News & World Report — six years in a row.

The history of Arizona State University is rich, bold and vibrant.
