Life at W. P. Carey
Flexibility for working professionals
With evening classes, an applied curriculum, and the option to add a unique custom track, the MS-ISM program has been intentionally constructed to support the education and career development goals of busy working professionals. In addition to insights from faculty with years of relevant experience, students learn through exposure to peers and their companies, and benefit from immediate and ongoing opportunities to apply what they’re learning on the job.
On campus
Your learning unfolds in the state-of-the-art McCord Hall, which features innovative team rooms as well as student lounges where you can take a break.
McCord Hall is located near the Memorial Union at ASU, considered the living room of campus, with a wide range of dining options and student support offices.
Also close by is the Sun Devil Fitness Complex. The SDFC is much more than just a workout facility, offering programs and services to help you stay active both inside and outside of the complex.
Off campus
The ASU Tempe campus is close to all the action in metro Phoenix — culture, sports, shopping, and entertainment. With 300 days of sunshine a year, Phoenix is just a few hours from world-class skiing, the Grand Canyon, and more.
