Your ASU degree will matter
That’s not something we only say on billboards.
It’s the truth.
ASU stands out among U.S. universities, ranking in the top 15 domestically and top 40 globally for employable graduates. That’s higher than Johns Hopkins, Dartmouth, Brown and UCLA, according to the 2024 Global Employability University Ranking & Survey. When measured against public universities, ASU trails only UC Berkeley.
Those graduates in turn are an economic boost for their communities. In Arizona alone, the 300,000 ASU alumni working in the state — from health care to engineering, from teaching to the arts — had aggregate earnings of around $22.4 billion in 2022. That translates to $1.7 billion in state and local taxes.
Our strong network of industry partnerships provides students with access to internships, mentorship programs and job opportunities. Our graduates are in demand for key jobs by national and international powerhouses. Here’s what some of those employers had to say.

ASU graduates work in the state of Arizona
We don’t just go to every school in the country; we pick and choose. All the college students here (at ASU) in STEM are just above and beyond. I’m so impressed with the resumes and the things that students are doing — it’s just mind-blowing to me.

One of the reasons we selected Arizona as the site for our U.S. expansion was the strength of state’s higher education institutions. Among our very first hires for TSMC Arizona were graduates of ASU, and we have no doubt that these employees will be critical to successfully ramping our semiconductor manufacturing operations in the years to come.

We recruit here because of the passion we find from the biomedical, biology, and chemistry students, along with the W. P. Carey School of Business students. … I don’t want other companies to steal our talent from ASU.

ASU offers a diverse student population with regard to academic backgrounds and experience. This aligns with State Farm’s diverse workforce.
