Arizona State University at the West Valley campus is a public university in Phoenix, Arizona. It is one of five university campuses[3] that compose Arizona State University (ASU). The West Valley campus was established by the Arizona Legislature in 1984,[4] and is located in northwest Phoenix, bordering the city of Glendale.

For many purposes, ASU's campuses are unified as a single institution so the West Valley campus shares students, faculty, administration, and accreditation with the other campuses.[5] As of Fall 2009, 10,380 students were enrolled in at least one course on the West Valley campus, while the FTE enrollment for the campus is 6,173.[6] Since Fall 2018, on campus enrollment has been about 5,000 on ground students every year. [7]

In 2008, the West Valley campus was designated as a Phoenix Point of Pride,[8] and in 2011, construction concluded on a large solar array that powers nearly the entire campus with solar power.[9]
