Arizona State University-Polytechnic

Arizona State University-Polytechnic stands as a dynamic campus within the larger ASU system, renowned for its immersive, hands-on approach to technology, engineering, and innovation. It cultivates an environment where students don't just learn theories but actively apply them to solve real-world challenges, preparing them for immediate impact in their chosen fields. With a robust offering of degrees, particularly within the esteemed Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering, ASU-Polytechnic is a premier destination for future innovators and leaders.

Established in 1996 as ASU East, the campus quickly grew from a modest beginning with nearly 1,000 students and eight degrees to a thriving educational community. It initially housed the School of Technology and the School of Management and Agribusiness, laying the groundwork for its specialized focus. A significant milestone occurred in July 2005 when it officially rebranded as ASU Polytechnic, reflecting its evolving commitment to polytechnic education and applied learning.

Today, the campus is home to over 8,000 students pursuing more than 40 degree programs. Its academic strength was significantly bolstered by the 2014 merger of the College of Technology and Innovation (CTI) with the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering, forming the specialized Polytechnic School. This school offers a wide array of undergraduate and graduate degrees, including a highly regarded aviation program, emphasizing practical, project-based learning. The student experience is enhanced by state-of-the-art facilities like the LEED Gold certified Polytechnic Academic Complex, completed in 2008, which integrates student housing, classrooms, and administrative offices into an open-air, collaborative environment at the heart of campus.
