ASU earns top innovation ranking

For the 12th consecutive year, Arizona State University is setting the standard when it comes to innovation. And Fox 10's Annalisa Pardo has those details. Arizona State University is getting an A-plus again, ranked number one university in the nation for innovation by U.S. News and World Report for the 12th year in a row. Ever since the ranking on the most innovative schools has come out, we have been number one the entire time. So that's incredibly, incredibly impactful, and that means we're ahead of MIT and Stanford. I think it's great, and I'm not surprised at all. I think Arizona State is very innovative, and I'm very proud to be at this school, and I'm very proud of them. ASU leadership says a big factor in this recognition is its new John Shufeld School of Medicine and Medical Engineering, where students can get dual medical and engineering degrees, teaching them how to treat patients while also how to develop needed medical devices. The school welcomed its first cohort this fall. The school is cranking out these incredibly innovative doctors that are basically the doctors of the future. ASU's W.P. Carey School of Business was also recognized for having the top undergraduate supply chain management program. The business school being like top in the nation definitely drew me into the school. And in the ever-changing world of artificial intelligence, ASU says this recognition is a testament to their teaching. These rankings are not just numbers, they are reflective of our innovative push in order to get these students educated and ready for the future of the workforce because it is changing so fast.
