A strong academic and athletic rivalry exists between the University of Arizona and Arizona State University located in Tempe.

Academically, U of A is strong in many areas (especially the sciences), but is particularly well known in the areas of optical science, management information science, and astronomical research.

Current funding considerations have led to a State-wide reorganization of the programs offered at each of Arizona's Universities. Known as "Focused Excellence", this reorganization aims to focus the mission of the University of Arizona upon research through eliminating and merging less popular and low-revenue academic departments.

The current and 18th University President is Peter Likins; his term began in 1997.
