School Description

Provided by Arizona State University- Polytechnic

ASU’s Polytechnic campus aims to increase the region’s competitiveness by preparing graduates to move directly into professional and technical careers and to become ethical leaders in their professional, public and personal lives.

Arizona State University's Polytechnic campus is home to more than 9,600 students pursuing degrees in professional or technological programs. The campus is situated on more than 600 acres in the Phoenix area's fast-growing East Valley. First-time visitors to the Polytechnic campus are immediately struck by the spacious grounds, friendly people and relaxed atmosphere. Closer inspection reveals a remarkable setting for personal growth and academic accomplishment.

Currently more than 40 degree programs are offered at the Polytechnic campus. Some of the focus areas include business, education, engineering, engineering technology and professional pilot training.

It's the first university campus in Arizona to offer the Bachelor of Applied Science, a flexible degree designed specifically for students who have earned community college AAS degrees.

The campus landscaping aims to emulate a desert arboretum, reflecting the unique and intrinsic beauty of the plant life of the Sonoran Desert and, to some extent, other similar deserts of the world.

University programs, services, events and activities provide you with a variety of opportunities to develop skills and knowledge that you can use throughout your professional and personal life. At ASU, the student experience is an individual experience.

Arizona State University- Polytechnic

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Arizona State University (ASU), Polytechnic is one of four campuses of Arizona State University. Founded originally as ASU East, the campus opened in fall 1996 on the former Williams Air Force Base in southeast Mesa, Arizona. The campus opened with nearly 1,000 students enrolled in one of the eight degrees offered. The campus started with two schools -- School of Technology and School of Management and Agribusiness. East College was added in 1997 as an incubator for new professional programs.

Today nearly 8,800 students are enrolled in 40 degree programs. ASU shares more than at Power and Williams Field roads with Chandler-Gilbert Community College, Mesa Community College, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, a United States Air Force research laboratory, a Veteran's Administration Clinic and the Silvestre Herrera Army Reserve Center. These entities make up what is known as the Williams Campus.

As the needs of the university and community evolve, so too does the campus. In July 2005, the campus changed its name from ASU East to ASU's Polytechnic campus to better reflect the mission of the programs at the campus. Programs such as the new interdisciplinary Bachelor of Science in Engineering continue to be developed, offering students even more practical degree choices.

Morrison School of Management and Agribusiness

The School was officially named in 1998 in honor of ASU Alums Marvin and June Morrison for their gift of a large acre of farmland to the school and their ongoing support of Arizona State University. Degree programs, from Agribusiness and Business Administration to Real Estate, feature award-winning, internationally recognized faculty.
