It guarantees the same tuition rate for all four years a student attends the university. The university has almost 30,000 students, over 150 degree programs and more than 30 campuses throughout Arizona.
Over 100 of the 150 degree programs the university offers are also available online. Bachelor’s degree offerings include criminal justice, small business administration and information technology. Master’s degree options include geospatial sciences and education. There is only one doctoral program available, nursing, but that may change sooner rather than later.
