Arkansas State University

Arkansas State University (also known as "A-State" or "ASU") is a public university and is the flagship campus of the Arkansas State University System, the state's second largest college system. It is located atop 800 acres on Crowley's Ridge at Jonesboro, Arkansas, USA.

ASU was founded in Jonesboro in 1909 by the Arkansas Legislature as a regional agricultural training school. It began offering a two-year college program in 1918, then became First District Agricultural and Mechanical College in 1925. A four-year degree program was begun in 1930, then A & M College became Arkansas State College in 1933. The Arkansas Legislature elevated the college to university status and changed the name to "Arkansas State University" in 1967.

"Our Alma Mater ASU Your hallowed halls shall ring With praise by daughter and noble son Who proudly stand and sing Mem'ries of your stirring glory And of youthful friends we knew The red and black shall ever wave On high for ASU"

The Arkansas State University System is a collection of ten campuses located across northeast and central Arkansas, USA. The system offices are located on the main campus in Jonesboro, Arkansas.

In 2006, the Arkansas State University System named Robert L. Potts the first chancellor of the Jonesboro campus and Les Wyatt the President of the ASU System. Previously, the ASU System president was also in charge of the Jonesboro campus. This move is expected to allow the System more room for growth.[
