Work at A-State

Arkansas State is proud to be an equal opportunity employer with a welcoming community for individuals of all backgrounds, including international faculty and staff. If you are not a U.S. citizen, you can get immigration support and resources through our office.

What I like most about working at A-State is being able to help students and the community. Seeing people come to us to pursue their education, gain that knowledge they need in that degree, then go off into the world to do big things. It’s really rewarding for me.
