Since our founding, we have highlighted the importance of community. Today, we continue that tradition by producing workforce-ready undergraduate and graduate professionals elevating the Hispanic community and advancing Arizona's economy.

Desde el comienzo, hemos enfatizado la importancia de la comunidad. Hoy, continuamos esa tradición produciendo profesionales de pregrado y posgrado listos para la fuerza laboral que elevan la comunidad hispana y promueven la economía de Arizona.
