tain academic requirements that must be met before a degree isgranted.

Courses, programs, and re-quirements described in the catalog may be suspended, deleted,restricted, supplemented, or changed in any other manner at anytime at the sole discretion of the university and the Arizona Boardof Regents. The catalog does not establish a contractual relation-ship but summarizes the total requirements the student must cur-rently meet before qualifying for a faculty recommendation to theArizona Board of Regents to award a degree.

HISTORY OF ARIZONA STATEUNIVERSITY

On February 26, 1885, House Bill164, “An Act to Establish a NormalSchool in the Territory of Arizona,”was introduced in the 13th LegislativeAssembly of Arizona Territory by JohnSamuel Armstrong. The bill, stronglysupported by Charles Trumbull Haydenof Tempe, passed the House on March6 and the Council on March 11 and wassigned by Governor F.A. Tritle onMarch 12, 1885, thereby founding the

institution known today as ArizonaState University. Under the supervi-sion of Principal Hiram BradfordFarmer, instruction was instituted onFebruary 8, 1886, when 33 studentsmet in a single room on land donatedby George and Martha Wilson ofTempe.

The institution began with the broadobligation to provide “instruction ofpersons…in the art of teaching and inall the various branches that pertain togood common school education; also,to give instruction in the mechanicalarts and in husbandry and agriculturalchemistry, the fundamental law of theUnited States, and in what regards therights and duties of citizens.”

With the growth of the state, espe-cially the surrounding Phoenix metro-politan area, the school has carried for-ward this charter, accompanied by suc-cessive changes in scope, name, andgovernance.

The Early Years. For the first 14years, the school was governed by sixprincipals. At the turn of the centuryand with another new name, NormalSchool of Arizona, President ArthurJohn Matthews brought a 30-year ten-ure of progress to the school.

He assisted in changing the school toan all-college student status; the normalschool had enlisted high school stu-dents who had no other secondary edu-cational facilities in Arizona. He em-barked on a building schedule that in-cluded the state’s first dormitories. Ofthe 18 buildings constructed whileMatthews was president, six are still inuse. His legacy of an “evergreen cam-

pus,” with the import of many shrubsand trees and the planting of PalmWalk, continues to this day: the maincampus is a nationally recognized arbo-retum.

Matthews also saw to it that the Ari-zona Normal School was accreditedoutside the state. His service on na-tional education organization boardswas conducive to this recognition. Theschool remained a teacher’s college infact and theory during Matthews’ ten-ure, although the struggle to attain sta-tus as a university was ongoing.

An extraordinary event occurredMarch 20, 1911, when former PresidentTheodore Roosevelt visited the Tempeschool and spoke from the steps of OldMain. He had dedicated the RooseveltDam the day before and was impressedwith Arizona. He noted that construc-tion of the dam would benefit centralArizona’s growth and that of the Nor-mal School. It would be another yearbefore the territory became a state.

During the Great Depression, RalphW. Swetman was hired as president to“sweep clean,” firing those faculty whodid not have master’s or doctoral de-grees in order to follow North CentralAssociation of Colleges and SecondarySchools guidelines.

The Gammage Years. In 1933, GradyGammage, then president of ArizonaState Teachers College at Flagstaff, be-came president of Arizona State Teach-ers College at Tempe, a tenure thatwould last for nearly 28 years.

The Graduate Division was createdin 1937 and the first master’s programwas established the same year.

GENERAL INFORMATION 27

On March 8, 1945, the three state in-stitutions of higher learning came underthe authority of one Arizona Board ofRegents, which oversees ASU today.

The phenomenal growth of the col-lege began after the end of World WarII. Dr. Gammage had foreseen that theG.I. Bill of Rights would flood cam-puses everywhere with returning veter-ans. Many of the veterans who had re-ceived military training in Arizona hadfallen in love with the state and vowedto return after the war. The numberswithin one year were staggering: in thefall semester of 1945, 553 studentswere enrolled; over the weekend se-mester break in January 1946, enroll-ment increased 110% to 1,163 students.Successive semesters saw continuingincreased enrollment.

Like his predecessor, Dr. Gammageoversaw the construction of a numberof buildings. His greatest dream, thatof a great auditorium, came five yearsafter his death. He laid the groundworkfor it with Frank Lloyd Wright, whodesigned what is now the university’shallmark building, Grady GammageMemorial Auditorium, built in 1964.

Years of Growth and Stature. Dur-ing the 1960s, with the presidency ofDr. G. Homer Durham, Arizona StateUniversity began its academic rise withthe establishment of several new col-leges (the College of Fine Arts, theCollege of Law, the College of Nurs-ing, and the School of Social Work)and the reorganization of what becamethe College of Liberal Arts and Sci-ences and the College of Engineeringand Applied Sciences. Perhaps mostimportant, the university gained the au-thority to award the Doctor of Philoso-phy and other doctoral degrees.

The next three presidents—Harry K.Newburn, 1969–71, John W. Schwada,1971–81, and J. Russell Nelson, 1981–89—and Interim President RichardPeck, 1989, led the university to in-creased academic stature, expansion ofthe campuses, and rising enrollment.With approximately 49,000 students,ASU is the fifth largest university inthe nation.

On January 1, 1990, Dr. Lattie F.Coor, a native Arizonan, became 15thin the institution’s succession of princi-pals and presidents. He has highlightedundergraduate education, research, cul-tural diversity, and economic develop-ment as the “four pillars” of the univer-sity’s agenda. He has taken steps in

these areas by further defining the roleof ASU West and by initiating theestablishment of ASU East.

Research I Status. ASU was named aResearch I university by the CarnegieFoundation for the Advancement ofTeaching in early 1994. Nationally, 88universities have been granted this sta-tus, indicating successful garnering ofsupport for research projects and edu-cating future scientists.

AthleticsThe original nickname for the Nor-

mal School of Arizona athletic teamswas the Owls. Athletics other thanSunday hikes and lawn tennis were notpart of the early curriculum.

During President Matthews’ tenure,some team competition began. TheTempe Bulldogs saw some interestingand rough competition with the Univer-sity of Arizona Wildcats.

In the 1940s, the college’s teams be-came the Sun Devils. In 1979, the uni-versity joined the Pacific–10 Confer-ence. In 1987, ASU became the firstArizona football team to play in theRose Bowl, defeating the University ofMichigan Wolverines 22–15. ASUmade its second appearance in 1997versus Ohio State.

Graduate CollegeGraduate education at ASU began

with the creation of the Graduate Divi-sion in 1937 and the establishment ofthe first master’s program the sameyear. For the first 20 years, graduateeducation focused exclusively on pro-fessional programs in education. Dur-ing the 1950s as the campus grew andbroadened its mission, a number of newdegree programs appeared, signifi-cantly enhancing the role of graduatestudies on the campus. By the early1960s, graduate programs were estab-lished in many disciplines: humanities,social science, and science fields werewell represented, as were professionalprograms in business, engineering, finearts, and public administration. Withthis expansion of the mission of thecampus came new facilities and the de-velopment of a wider range of researchinterests and activities.

Major changes in the nature and roleof graduate education came in the early1960s when the first Ph.D. programswere established in chemistry, educa-tion, engineering, English, physics, andpsychology. The research focus ofcampus programs grew at a rapid pace.

Master’s programs matured as doctoralprograms were added. From the late1960s to the present, campus facilitiesfor instruction, research, and advancedstudy significantly expanded to supportuniversity programs with the construc-tion of new laboratories, classroomstructures, and two large libraries—in-cluding a new main library and a sepa-rate science and engineering library.

UNIVERSITY CAMPUSES ANDSITES

Students who wish to transfer from agraduate program on one ASU campusto a graduate program on another ASUcampus must apply through the normalapplication procedures of the receivingcampus.

Graduate students may register forcourses on either campus; however,registration qualifications and restric-tions for any specific course are deter-mined by the respective campus facul-ties, are described in the ASU catalogs,and may be campus specific. Any aca-demic unit on either campus has the au-thority to place restrictions on itscourses.

ASU Main. ASU Main is located nearthe heart of metropolitan Phoenix in thecity of Tempe (population 160,000).Nearby are the municipalities that makeup the fast-growing Valley of the Sun:Chandler, Gilbert, Glendale, Mesa,Scottsdale, and other communities.

ASU Main comprises more than 700acres and offers outstanding physicalfacilities to support the university’seducational programs. Buildings aremodern, air-conditioned, and attrac-tively designed.

Broad pedestrian malls laid out in aneasy-to-follow grid plan, bicycle lanesconnecting all parts of the university,and spacious lawns and subtropicallandscaping characterize a campusserving the physical, aesthetic, and edu-cational needs of students, faculty, andstaff.

ASU East. The university’s third cam-pus, ASU East, opened at the WilliamsCampus in the fall of 1996, servingmore than 1,000 students in degree pro-grams offered by the College of Tech-nology and Applied Sciences andSchool of Agribusiness and ResourceManagement, programs offered at noother Arizona campus. In 1997, EastCollege was created to provide supportcourses for existing programs and togenerate new degree programs at ASUEast.

ASU East has joined with Chandler-Gilbert Community College (CGCC) inthe New Partnership in BaccalaureateEducation that allows students to grad-

uate in four years with an ASU bacca-laureate degree earned entirely at theWilliams Campus, at some savings intuition.

The campus includes excellent edu-cational facilities and unique residentialopportunities, including a choice of tra-ditional residence halls or two- to five-bedroom homes.

ASU East is a student centered cam-pus that offers many of the features of asmall college in a rural area while pro-viding access to the resources of a ma-jor research university and the ameni-ties of a large metropolitan area. Ashuttle service provides transportationbetween ASU East and ASU Main.The 600-acre ASU East campus is eas-ily accessible via major interstateroutes. For more information, seepages 370–379.
