According to a new ranking of international businesses and organizations, Arizona State University has been positioned at the number 2 spot for employable graduates.

Study Abroad: Arizona State University has again ranked second in the newest Global Employability University Ranking and Survey, or GEURS for employable graduates. In this parameter, ASU was ahead of UCLA, the University of Michigan and Purdue. Overall, Arizona State University was placed at number 14.

Nancy Gonzales, executive vice president and university provost commented, “The words of the ASU charter compel us to measure ourselves not only by whom we include, but by how they succeed. Enabling the career success of our graduates is one of our most fundamental responsibilities as a university. This ranking demonstrates that an ASU degree is in demand by employers and a significant return on investment for our graduates.”

About GEURS Ranking

This ranking is based on the point of view of international employers. It is published by Times Higher Education. The ranking is based on employability and every year GEURS releases a list of the top 250 universities as per the ranking. The 2025 survey highlighted that employers are looking for graduates with strong subject specialism skills and digital literacy.

This year, among top employers of ASU graduates included Intel, Amazon, Deloitte, Banner Health, Charles Schwab, Honeywell, Boeing, Honor Health, PepsiCo, and the federal government.

Joanne Vogel, vice president of student services with Educational Outreach and Student Services said, “ASU prides itself on providing students with an education that prepares them for the future workforce,” Vogel said. “Through our quality academics, abundant enrichment opportunities and support from fellow Sun Devils, students graduate prepared to accomplish their goals throughout their life.”

“From career advising and support finding internships to professional networking events and skill-building workshops, ASU Career Services plays an integral role in helping students define their goals and launch successful careers,” she said.

Kate Eaton, associate dean for graduate programs and a clinical professor of marketing at the W. P. Carey School of Business said, “Helping students in finding jobs is an essential part of my role. Since most students pursue higher education with career goals, job placement is a critical aspect of the value we provide.”

“To secure a summer internship, they often need to start their search within the first quarter of their graduate program. That’s why we begin discussing career journeys right from orientation and equip students with the tools they need to succeed from day one. We’ve also integrated regular touchpoints with the career team into our program curriculum," Eaton said.
