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.
