Explore our vibrant campus culture
When you join the Department of Physics at Arizona State University, you’ll become a part of the campus culture in Tempe. As the
largest and most historic of five campuses across the Phoenix metropolitan area, the Tempe campus brings together more than 50,000 students to create a dynamic and collaborative learning environment. From researching in the Center for Biological Physics, to studying in the iconic underground library, to hiking up “A” mountain, there’s a variety of things to keep you entertained while on campus.
All prospective International teaching assistants are required to take a SPEAK test upon arrival at ASU, and must attain a score of 55 or better. Students may repeat the SPEAK test to improve their scores, and are encouraged to do so after receiving intensive language training. TA appointments are not renewed beyond the first year without a SPEAK score of 55 or better.
For details on the SPEAK test
Applications are accepted for the fall semester only. The application deadline for full consideration for the Fall semester is January 31. Files completed after this date will be considered, but students should recognize that most of the financial resources will be committed by early spring.
