Arizona State University
Arizona State University, founded in 1885, has grown into one of the largest public universities in the country by enrollment, and its designation by US News & World Report as the most innovative school in the country for multiple consecutive years reflects a deliberate institutional strategy built around access and scale rather than traditional selectivity. The university's W. P. Carey School of Business and its journalism school, the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication, have each built strong national reputations, and ASU's fully online degree programs, offered at scale through partnerships including edX, have made it one of the leading providers of online public university education in the country. ASU's explicit institutional charter, adopted under longtime president Michael Crow, commits the university to being measured by "whom it includes" rather than "whom it excludes," a philosophy that's driven ASU's rapid enrollment growth and its self-positioning as a deliberately less selectivity-focused alternative to more traditionally exclusive research universities. The university's Tempe campus and its continued rapid growth in research funding, despite its size-focused rather than exclusivity-focused institutional philosophy, have made ASU one of the largest and fastest-growing major research universities in the country over the past two decades.
VS
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, founded in 1925, is the largest university in the world exclusively dedicated to aviation and aerospace education, and its Prescott, Arizona campus, one of the university's two primary US locations alongside Daytona Beach, Florida, trains pilots, aerospace engineers, and air traffic controllers. The university's flight training program operates its own dedicated fleet of training aircraft, and Embry-Riddle graduates go on to become commercial airline pilots, military aviators, and aerospace engineers at rates that reflect the university's singular institutional focus on aviation and space-related careers. Embry-Riddle's aerospace engineering program benefits from close industry partnerships across the commercial aviation, defense, and growing commercial space sectors, giving students direct pipelines into major employers in fields directly tied to the university's specialized curriculum. The university's combination of hands-on flight training infrastructure and specialized aerospace engineering programs has made it the dominant standalone institution for aviation-focused higher education in the country, drawing students specifically committed to careers in flying or aerospace engineering rather than a broader liberal arts or general STEM education.
