School Details

Angelo State University is a public, four-year institution of higher education that focuses on liberal arts, sciences, and professional disciplines, and is located in the city of San Angelo, Texas.

ABOUT

A community rallied and even supported a self-imposed tax, in order to establish San Angelo Junior College in 1928. The college continued operations throughout the Great Depression, adopting the title San Angelo College, and later changing the name once more, to San Angelo University in 1969. Academic and athletic programs continued to expand throughout the twentieth century, especially due to the driving forces of the G.I. Bill and the Baby Boomer generation. By 2011, the student population had grown to more than 7,000 students.

Today, Angelo State University is a member of the Texas Tech University System and is designated by the U.S. Department of Education as a Hispanic Serving Institution. Angelo State University’s mission statement includes: “In a learning-centered environment distinguished by its integration of teaching, research, creative endeavor, service and co-curricular experiences, ASU prepares students to be responsible citizens and to have productive careers.” Angelo State University is regionally accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.

Wide ranging extracurricular activities are available on the 268-acre campus. ASU supports over 100 student organizations, some of which include: fraternities and sororities, professional organizations, student government, honor societies, religious organizations, and special interest organizations. With 25 intramural and club sports, athletic opportunities range from flag football and ultimate frisbee to table tennis and the 5k fun run.
