Higher Education in Phoenix

Phoenix is a city with a lot to offer, including educational opportunities.  To give you an idea of some of what is there we have told you a little about some below.  There are chances to benefit from these schools either by checking out a game or taking in a student show!

Arizona State University -

Arizona State University is one of Arizona's best schools.  It is in Tempe, in the Phoenix Metro Area.  It was founded in 1885, and has grown from a normal school to a full fledged public university.  They have four campuses now and a wide variety of programs.  ASU also has D-I sports and competes in the Pacific-12 Conference. 

Arizona Christian University -

Arizona Christian University opened in 1960, and is a non-profit religious school.  It is a nondenominational seminary.  They are slowly expanding, but the vast majority of their degrees are religious in nature, and students are required to be active members of a church.

American Indian College -

There is also the American Indian College, which is another Christian school.  It was established in 1857, around the same time as American Indian College.  They are open to all, but put an emphasis on Native American students, and have 25 tribes represented.
