Accomplishments & Recognition:
Considered one of the nation's premier research universities, Arizona State University has achieved a high degree of excellence in their research endeavors. In 1991 ASU was awarded the prestigious Research I status from the Carnegie Foundation. Carnegie Research I universities are the premiere research institutions in the nation, including only 88 universities nationally. Arizona State University ranks among an even more select grouping of nine "Research I" universities that have attained this award without the benefit of a medical school or land grant status.  ASU is research-driven but focused on learning—teaching is carried out in a context that encourages the creation of new knowledge. The faculty includes recipients of prestigious academic and professional awards, including membership in the national academies. ASU currently ranks sixth among public universities in its enrollment of freshmen merit scholars. The university champions diversity, and is international in scope, welcoming students from all 50 states and nations across the globe.
