Arizona State University is currently ranked #1 in the U.S. for Innovation by U.S. News Best Colleges, ahead of both MIT and Stanford. U.S. News also ranks ASU among the nation’s top 5 colleges for online education. So while ASU is at the forefront of research and discovery, the school’s innovation is further demonstrated by its technology interface enabling it to offer 150+ academic programs that are 100% online.
ASU Online hosts the same degree programs as those taught on campus — with no out-of-state tuition costs. As a result, ASU was named a “best buy” public college by the Fiske Guide to Colleges. The college works through the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (SARA) process, helping to deliver all of their online programs in every state and even around the world.
In recent years, ASU has grown from having a reputation as a top party school to becoming highly respected for its academic excellence. In 2016, ASU was recognized as one of the top 100 most prestigious universities in the world by Times Higher Education, the world’s largest academic opinion survey. ASU was one of only 43 U.S. universities to make the list, and the only university from Arizona.
