Welcome International Students!

We're glad that you're interested in the Arizona State University exchange program through the ASU International Programs Office. We're sure that your time here will be one of the most unique and important experiences of your life. ASU is the 4th largest (about 58,000 students) and one of the top-ranked public, research universities in the country. Most exchange students take courses on the Tempe campus, but there are also three additional campuses around Phoenix. Tempe is a lively university city, right next to Phoenix which is the fifth largest city in the U.S. The Grand Canyon, Mexico, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and San Francisco are only a short drive or flight away. The focus of the exchange program is on academic learning, but we are also eager to make your experience at ASU enjoyable as well as educational. We offer assistance in housing placement, an orientation upon arrival, assistance with registration, and information about the many non-academic activities around campus an the community throughout the year.

In order to participate in the exchange program at ASU, you must be nominated by one of ASU's partner institutions. Once you have been nominated, one of our exchange program coordinators will be available to answer questions you may have about studying at ASU.

If you would like to come to ASU to complete a degree, you should contact the ASU International Admissions. If you would like to come to ASU for intensive English language study, our American English and Culture Program has the perfect program for you.

Please read the FAQs and meet with an advisor in your international office to begin the application process. Be sure to plan ahead! Application deadlines are April 1 for fall semester and academic year admission, and October 1 for spring semester admission.

Good luck and we hope to see you soon!
