Inclusion at ASU

Embracing our community

Inclusive excellence is a term that reflects Arizona State University’s commitment to admitting all students who are qualified to attend the university under the university’s admission standards without regard to their race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin. And, all ASU students and employees are welcome to participate in all ASU programs, groups, and organizations.

The university provides those students with an education at the highest levels of excellence through a faculty of distinguished scholars. Doing so has resulted in the recent invitation for ASU to join the American Association of Universities (AAU) with a student body of more than 80,000 students on ASU’s four campuses.

A New American University

A new model for the American research university, creating an institution committed to excellence, access and impact where learning is for everyone. ASU catalyzes human potential, entrepreneurship and research to address society’s biggest challenges.

Indigenous land acknowledgement

Arizona State University acknowledges the twenty-three Native Nations that have inhabited this land for centuries. ASU's four campuses are located in the Salt River Valley on ancestral territories of Indigenous peoples, including the Akimel O’odham (Pima) and Pee Posh (Maricopa) Indian Communities, whose care and keeping of these lands allows us to be here today. ASU acknowledges the sovereignty of these nations and seeks to foster an environment of success and possibility for Native American students and patrons. ASU welcomes members of the Akimel O’odham and Pee Posh, and all Native nations to ASU.
