The university said this fall’s graduating class is larger than last year’s by more than 600 students.
A majority of the graduates this fall are women: Both the undergraduate and graduate classes are made up of 52 percent women.
Arizonans have also made up a majority of the undergraduate class, with 59.3 percent of graduates hailing from the state. That number dropped to 36 percent for advanced degrees, however.
