Arizona State University’s third campus, ASU East, opened at the Williams Campus in the fall of 1996, serving more than 1,000 students in degree programs offered by the College of Technology and Applied Sciences and the School of Agribusiness and Resource Management. These unique “get down to business” programs are offered at no other Arizona campus, and they are tailored to help students develop knowledge and skills specifically needed in the businesses and industries of the 21st century. In 1997, East College was created to provide support courses for existing programs and to generate new degree programs at ASU East.
ASU East, a residential campus, is transforming the facilities inherited from Williams Air Force Base into an academic village. The campus includes excellent educational facilities: modern classrooms and laboratories, a 21st-century electronic library, and state-of-the-art computer equipment. ASU East offers unique residential opportunities. Faculty, staff, and students live, teach, work, and learn together in a growing, diverse academic community offering a choice of traditional residence halls or two- to five-bedroom homes. Other amenities include a dining hall, bookstore, campus union, free parking, and abundant recreational facilities.
ASU East is a student-centered campus that offers many of the features of a small college in a rural area while providing access to the resources of a major research university and the amenities of a large metropolitan area. A shuttle service provides transportation between ASU East and ASU West. The 600-acre ASU East campus is easily accessible via major interstate routes.
