From the moment you step onto ASU's West campus, you will know what a special place it is, from well-manicured courtyards and shaded breezeways to the inviting nooks and crannies that invite you to curl up with a book or discuss life with a classmate.

Arizona State University at the West campus is a comprehensive campus that balances the tradition of a liberal arts education with responsiveness to the demands and dynamics of work force requirements. Faculty within each of its three colleges are committed to providing undergraduate and graduate teaching and research that is innovative, interdisciplinary, collaborative and solution-based.

ASU's West campus serves a diverse student body of nearly 9,000 students. The campus is nestled on 300 acres in the heart of northwest Phoenix, the centerpiece of a burgeoning region representing a new frontier of commerce, sports, recreation, arts, and lifelong learning opportunities. Las Casas, a beautiful apartment-style residential complex on the campus' west side, features on-site recreation facilities, including a community center, modern computer lab, tutoring lab, swimming pool, and sand volleyball court.
