From the College
“Angelo State University provides a strong academic experience while offering significant financial support to students. As a result, the university's academic quality and low student-faculty ratio (18-1) prepare students for success in their chosen professions or acceptance to graduate and professional school, such as medicine and law. Because of major scholarship and gift aid support which does not have to be repaid like many academic loans, ASU boasts one of the nation's lowest student debt burdens upon graduation.
“The school emphasizes producing students who can think critically, adapt to a changing world and succeed in various environments. ASU appeals to those who want a more rigorous academic experience through the school's Honors Program, and to those who want to study abroad through the International Studies Program that provides a more global experience while keeping costs within reach.
“ASU has the only Physics Department in Texas ranked in the top 20 among undergraduate programs nationwide and a nationally recognized Biology Department which has the first department in the nation to have its biology honor society named the top chapter in the nation a record six times.
“The university is organized with six colleges: Business; Education; Liberal and Fine Arts; Nursing and Allied Health; Sciences; and Graduate Studies as well as 19 academic departments. Those departments offer 43 undergraduate programs, 21 graduate programs, including a doctorate, and one associate degree as more than 100 majors. As a member of the Texas Tech University System, ASU provides options for a variety of pre-professional and two-plus-two and four-plus-one programs with Texas Tech. ASU draws students from practically every county in Texas (221 of 254) as well as from 44 states and 24 countries. With more than half of its graduates as first generation college students, ASU is attuned to the academic and social needs of a new generation of college students.
“Along with ASU's academic offerings, it also provides a 268-acre campus that features an attractive and safe setting for a college education. ASU's campus facilities are valued at over $376 million and include the Math-Computer Science Building, which houses one of the most sophisticated computer systems in the state; the Junell Center/Stephens Arena, one of the top facilities in all of NCAA Division II athletics; and the Houston-Harte University Center, the center of campus student life. Additionally, the university operates 6,000 additional acres in farm and ranch lands that also serve as home for ASU's Management, Instruction and Research Center as well as the Food Safety and Product Development Laboratory.
“Thanks to funding by the Robert G. and Nona K. Carr Scholarship Foundation, ASU has scholarships that benefit one in every six students with grants ranging from $2,000 to $6,000. Established in 1978 exclusively to benefit needy and deserving ASU students, the Carr Foundation today holds assets of more than $96 million. For the 2013-14 academic year, approximately $4 million in Carr Scholarships were awarded to ASU students.”
