Say 110 Degrees Without Fainting

Hiking and skiing and engineering, oh my

Temperatures in Arizona might be hot, but so are the college opportunities. Arizona’s 3 public four-year universities offer booming programs in manufacturing sciences, technology, business, and hospitality. The Copper State has private universities covered as well, with 7 four-year universities and 7 religious institutions that pepper Arizona’s desert landscape. These include schools housed in Phoenix, Mesa, and Scottsdale. Interested in military sciences or engineering? Arizona’s Fort Huachuca, Luke, and Davis-Monthan Air Force bases and the Yuma Proving Grounds provide potential employment opportunities in testing and training. And with income tax rates as low as 2-5%, your money will go further in the Grand Canyon State.

One of the Four Corners states, Arizona’s temperate climate and diverse topography make it a landmine for outdoor sports. Hiking in Grand Canyon National Park, hitting a few rounds on the sunny golf courses, or relaxing at the spas are common past times here in the desert. The state’s Native American history is heavily folded into its robust art scene—Southwestern and Native American art reigns supreme in Arizona’s largest art museums and in the up-and-coming artist communities popping up throughout the desert state. Festivals, cultural performances and public educational programs are at your fingertips when you choose Arizona.* What more do you need than gorgeous weather, sprawling landscapes, and abundant opportunities to get in the zone in Arizona?
