Dean's Welcome

Dear Students, Prospective Students, Parents and Friends,

Welcome to University College at Arizona State University. We are committed to advancing academic excellence and the impact of a university education through a dedicated focus on individual undergraduate students. ASU offers more than 250 majors. We work directly with all the other colleges, schools, departments and programs to help students select the right major in a timely manner. Choosing the right major can motivate a student to do well in classes, graduate on time and plan a career path. At University College, we offer each student unlimited academic advising with an academic success specialist, a residential community, coursework in major and career exploration, and online planning tools such as the Kuder Career Planning system. Our mission is to offer every student the opportunity for success through academic advising, major and career exploration and access to the New American University. The goals of University College are to:

• Assist students in selecting academic majors in a timely manner.
• Enhance support university-wide for students in transition.
• Improve student retention and graduation rates.

There is much more to share about University College. Please take a moment to explore our programs here on our website. Better yet, come visit in person. We will be happy to show you any one of our campuses. We are here to help you discover your options and decide on a path.

Sincerely,
