The University of Arizona (UA) in Tucson was the first university to be established in the state of Arizona, in 1885. The three campuses stretch over 387 acres and constitute the oldest continually maintained 'green space' in this otherwise desert region. The university serves over 35,000 students across all disciplines, including both undergraduate and postgraduate students. For example, UA offers 300 undergraduate degrees in 20 colleges and 11 schools. The faculty includes Nobel and Pulitzer prize winners and the National Science Foundation has ranked the University of Arizona as the 16th top public university in the country.
There are a large number of residences for students, almost all of which are co-ed. Residence Life has all the information you need to apply to a residence hall and be sure of getting the most out of your time on campus. The Admissions Office provides information on a wide variety of scholarships and financial aid as well as everything else you need to know about applying to the university.
Communication and community spirit are encouraged at UA. The Faculty Fellows is one example of a program in place to help generate both of these. The aim of this program is to enable the students to spend time with the faculty outside of the classroom and engender a spirit of community in the university. UA aims to be as diverse as possible and has a number of programs in place to ensure the continued diversity of both the student body and the faculty. This diversity includes both minority groups, international students and disabled staff and students. Disabled staff and students should contact the Disability Resource Center to learn about the specific details of assistance. Outreach programmes are also available, as UA is committed to making a difference in people's lives.
The Student Recreation Center provides information on a variety of different things to do besides studying. A wide variety of sports are offered at the university as well as a variety of other student societies. There are art galleries, museums, theatres and a large number of libraries with an enormous amount of resources on offer to the student.
