Department Statement:

About ASU: Arizona State University is the largest, fastest-growing, and most innovative university system in the U.S. Serving over 120,000 learners, the university is guided by its charter, which focuses not on exclusion, elitism, and Industrial Age academic structures, but on innovation, and measurable results for students, the nation, and the world. ASU has been named the nation’s most innovative university for the fifth consecutive year by U.S. News & World Report.

About Learning Enterprise: We believe that the rigid and linear design of the traditional higher education system is neither an effective ladder to social and economic opportunity for all learners nor is it responsive to rapidly evolving workforce needs. ASU has responded to these challenges with the creation of Learning Enterprise
