President’s Message

Dear Current and Prospective ASU Students:

It is my privilege to welcome you to Arizona State University and to introduce you to the 2005-2006 Graduate Catalog. Within these pages you will find confirmation of our status as a Research Extensive university on the verge of becoming one of the top public metropolitan universities in the country.

ASU consistently attracts talented students and faculty from varied backgrounds who share our commitment to the higher standard of education, research, innovation, community service, and cultural diversity. The depth and breadth of ASU graduate degree programs will give you a true sense of our commitment to quality in teaching and research and of our trajectory in building the New American University.

I am tremendously excited to welcome you to ASU as a member of our vigorous academic community.

Sincerely,

Michael M. Crow

President
