Let's get started
Arizona’s public universities – Arizona State University, Northern Arizona University and the University of Arizona – are operating on a simple premise: all Arizonans should benefit from our universities. What began over 150 years ago with a single university has grown to include three institutions with multiple campuses and locations across the state. In person or online, the universities offer hundreds of degree programs, many of which are nationally ranked, to match your interests and to help you develop the career you want. Let’s get started!

Your university options
Regardless of which pathway you take, you’ll need to consider where you’re going. What kind of college experience appeals to you? Do you want a small campus feel or something larger with more students? Do you like mountain life or city life? Do you want to cheer from the student section at college football and basketball games? Would you rather attend on campus or online? The state of Arizona is very fortunate to offer a little bit of everything.
