Educating Leaders. Enriching Lives. A Legacy of Impact

From our roots as an agricultural training school to our place as Arkansas’ second-largest university, A-State has always looked forward. We’re home to Arkansas' first osteopathic medical school and will be the state’s first public vet school with the opening of our College of Veterinary Medicine in 2026. Today, we continue to lead as a hub for innovation and growth in the Mid-South.
