Physics doctoral candidate Razieh Behkam celebrates her degree from ASU's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Of the more than 13,800 ASU graduate students in 2011-2012, nearly 22 percent of master’s students and more than 16 percent of doctoral students were from underrepresented or minority ethnic groups – making ASU a national leader in ethnic minority graduate education.

ASU emphasizes access and excellence, achieving both through its academic programming, organizations and outreach opportunities. In the past 10 years, the university has fostered an environment where students can live and learn as a community with those of different cultures, genders, sexual orientations, nationalities and religions. ASU understands the most impactful learning environment is one that supports its populations and speaks to inclusiveness.
