Arizona State University has been ranked in the top 1% of nearly 21,000 universities worldwide for education, employability, faculty and research, according to the 2024 edition of the Global 2000 list by the Center for World University Rankings.

Today’s edition covers a record-breaking number of ASU graduates, our inspiring graduates and how student veterans are transitioning to civilian life in a powerful way.

What began as a small off-campus ceremony in the town of Guadalupe, Arizona, on May 12, 1984, has become a signature event of Arizona State University’s graduation celebrations. Reaching its 40th anniversary this spring, the celebration of Hispanic/Latino academic success and culture at ASU has grown exponentially since it began.

Nearly 20,700 Arizona State University students will graduate this spring, and many will be recruited by top employers like Honeywell, Intel and Amazon.

Fourteen graduate programs at Arizona State University are in the top 10 nationwide, according to U.S. News & World Report’s 2024 rankings released today. A total of 32 programs made the top 20, and Edson College of Nursing and Health Innovation’s Doctor of Nursing Practice leapt 30 spots to come in at No. 26, ahead of Yale, UCLA and the University of California, San Francisco.

Today’s edition covers a first-of-its-kind AI master’s program, Oscar winner Matthew McConaughey and ASU helping a local school district and the Sun Devils doing sustainability work abroad.
