Arizona State University Polytechnic is home to programs in aviation, business, education, engineering, math, science and technology, complemented by arts, humanities and social sciences curricula. As a polytechnic-focused campus, the emphasis is on professional and technical programs that prepare students in a hands-on, project- and team-based learning environment. Students can earn ASU bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees at the 600-acre campus in southeast Mesa, in an environment characterized by intimate class sizes, an integrated curriculum and accessible faculty. The degrees incorporate practical and theoretical exercises throughout the programs.

The campus has approximately 86 buildings in use for academic programs and student services, including a new Academic Complex providing 245, 000 square feet of additional office, classroom and laboratory space. The complex received the LEED-Gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council, and at least one building incorporates a small array of solar panels to generate electricity for a seminar room.

Students are globally engaged through programs like GlobalResolve, a social entrepreneurship initiative that works with developing economies to provide sustainable solutions using technology.

The Advanced Technology Innovation Center provides small- and medium-sized businesses and entrepreneurs the resources needed to take their ideas from prototype to commercialization.

The City of Mesa and ASU are studying the feasibility of the Mesa Business Accelerator, which would provide entrepreneurs and researchers from the private sector and the university opportunities to develop innovative ideas into successful businesses.

Unique research at the Polytechnic campus includes the work of scientists Milton Sommerfeld and Qiang Hu and their conversion of algal feedstock to fuel.
