A note from the dean
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences has been my home for three decades. I’m confident about our ability to educate socially aware, critically thinking citizens who will bring about positive change in the world. That transformation starts with the support of parents and families. Together, we can create a legacy of scholars who are eager to pursue a higher education and, with it, we can drastically change the number of opportunities available for these individuals with a college degree.
I want to drive home the importance of an informed and supportive family in our community because they play a vital role in our students’ success. Whether you’re encouraging your student to take advantage of free tutoring or explaining the benefits associated with study abroad and travel, you can empower your son or daughter to take personal responsibility for their academic achievements at ASU.

College can transform generations of families
First-generation students change the trajectory of their family linages by instilling a desire to pursue higher education. When a first-generation student completes a degree, the chances of other generations following down a similar path are incredibly high. Education in a family linage can dramatically change and alter the course for future generations of scholars.
Additional resources for social and professional development
Your student’s major is just one piece of the puzzle. ASU’s Career and Professional Development Services can help them determine their skills, interests and passions
There are a variety of clubs and organizations within our college to help your student pursue their passions, make friends and learn more about their field of study.
Your student will have access to interactive undergraduate research facilities where they can work alongside faculty on groundbreaking research and gain a better world view.
Our students have the opportunity to get ready for professional life through with internships. Encourage your student to gain real-life experience in their field through an internship.
Whether your student wants to become a teacher or attend medical or law school, our college offers pre-professional advising to make sure they’re on track to accomplish those goals.
If your student wants to enrich their learning, explain the benefits of study abroad. Our college offers more than 300 programs in over 60 countries. Help them pack their bags!
