Arkansas State University History
Arkansas State University is located in Jonesboro, Arkansas. There are additional campuses in Beebe, Newport, and Mountain Home, and there are various regional programs or other partnerships sponsored by the University throughout the state. The University was founded in 1909 and is regionally accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, and by eighteen specialized accreditation organizations. It began as an agricultural training school with a two-year program, and then became a four-year college which eventually achieved university status. Master’s degree programs began in 1955, and it was in 1992 that the University instituted its first doctoral degree. There are now three doctoral programs. Associates decrees are also awarded.
The University is also a member of the Arkansas Biosciences Institute, which performs agricultural and medical research. It is a joint venture among several universities and hospitals aimed at promoting the health of Arkansas residents. According to its mission statement, “Arkansas State University pursues and shares knowledge within a caring community that prepares students in challenging and diverse ways to become more productive global citizens.”
Two-year programs were offered in 1918, and then four-year status was obtained in 1930. University status was obtained in 1967, when Arkansas State University adopted its current name.
