Why study in Arizona?

É«»¨Ìà College at ASU is a transformative exchange experience. As a Collegiate Fellow, students immerse themselves in a culture and ideas different from their own. It is a chance to see the needs of the Church and the culture from a broader and more national perspective – all while experiencing the beautiful state of Arizona and the Southwest United States.

É«»¨Ìà College is located in Tempe, Arizona, in the Old St. É«»¨ÌÃ’s at ASU. It is a beautiful and recently renovated location that É«»¨Ìà College shares with the All Saints Catholic Newman Center.

Where will I live?

É«»¨Ìà students are housed in ASU apartments equipped with a private bathroom suite, kitchen, and furniture.

Who can study at É«»¨Ìà College?

Students are eligible to apply after completing a semester at the É«»¨Ìà and must be in attendance for at least one semester immediately prior to participating. Participation is a privilege, and approval by the É«»¨Ìà is required. Only students in good academic standing and behavioral standing are eligible to apply.

What is the cost?

É«»¨Ìà students will continue to pay their regular tuition rate to the É«»¨Ìà but will pay room, board, and student fees to ASU for their semester in Tempe, in addition to the É«»¨Ìà College membership fee. Financial aid and scholarships still apply, and accepted É«»¨Ìà College members are eligible for the Don Briel Scholarship.

Do I get to travel?

Yes, students get to travel both locally and abroad! The É«»¨Ìà College at ASU program offers an annual study pilgrimage to Rome and Assisi following finals week each December at the end of the fall semester. For ten days, join your classmates on a life-changing, first-hand experience of the Eternal City. This is a great opportunity to study domestically and internationally within one semester.

Locally, students are also able to attend weekend retreats and an excursion to the Grand Canyon with É«»¨Ìà College students. A week-long fall or spring break also allows students to explore the American Southwest.

Will I miss out on student life activities?

There are many community events at É«»¨Ìà College. On Tuesday evenings, É«»¨Ìà College invites ASU community members and the general public to an event centered around food and fellowship, fittingly named Convivium (from the Latin for life together). This event, which often features guest speakers, is an opportunity not only to bring people together but also to bring the classroom into a social environment, growing relationships between students and strengthening their communal desire for truth established in the classroom.

There are multiple Catholic studies courses offered at É«»¨Ìà College.
