The Graduate Faculty model allows ASU to expand its intellectual capacity and engage qualified faculty in graduate education and mentoring across the university. PhD Programs have the opportunity to expand their PhD faculty membership to include faculty from other programs, colleges, schools and campuses who have appropriate research and mentoring expertise to engage and broaden PhD education.

The faculty at ASU include outstanding researchers and scholars whose experience and training cross-cut departments, colleges/schools, campuses, and disciplines. This model provides students with a transformative, cutting-edge education, rooted in the best traditions of academic excellence while forging new interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary directions.
