College of Integrative Sciences and Arts

The College of Integrative Sciences and Arts at Arizona State University is reorganizing to better serve students and meet the needs of the East Valley community around ASU’s Polytechnic campus. The new model, with three new schools, will boost the college’s identity as a distinctive arts and sciences college, grow affinity among students and faculty through applied learning, better align with the rest of the university and increase efficiency. The three new schools consist of The School of Applied Professional Studies, The School of Applied Sciences and Arts, and The School of Counseling and Counseling Psychology.
