Your ASU fit is
Downtown Phoenix Campus
Students who find their fit at the Downtown Phoenix campus enjoy the feeling of a bustling city life and have nearby access to professional connections in the fields in which they are studying.
How We Learn
The mid-sized campus attracts students who consider themselves ambitious professionals and impact-making idealists. Journalism students learn by actually running TV broadcasts at ASU-operated Arizona PBS. Public policy and law students gain experience from the State Capitol and local law firms. Health majors intern at Phoenix Children’s Hospital and the world-renowned Mayo Clinic. Many of these opportunities are just a short train or scooter ride from campus.
Things to do
Weekends in downtown Phoenix are for urban explorers who want to enjoy coffee at Coffee Cartel with friends. The truly ambitious can rise early for a quick workout in the state-of-the-art gym, while late sleepers can still make it for breakfast (OK, maybe lunch) at CityScape. Evenings are spent with your crew discovering local bands at Crescent Ballroom or catching the latest movie at AMC Theaters. Downtown Phoenix is home to a growing crowd that’s bringing new creative energy to Phoenix. That’s okay with Phoenicians because the local food scene is exploding and getting more delicious by the month. Foodies can rejoice because the Downtown Phoenix campus is just a short walk to the top-rated pizza restaurant in the U.S. — Pizzeria Bianco. You read that right, the country’s best pizza is not in Chicago or New York, but in our very own Phoenix.
Campus vibe
The Downtown Phoenix campus is always exciting and accessible. Even though Phoenix is the fifth-largest city in the U.S., its downtown core is relaxed, safe and pedestrian-friendly, making it the perfect introduction to big city life. The students here say you feel like a professional when you study and work downtown.
