Arkansas State University is located in Jonesboro, Arkansas

the years has been typical of other major universities in an emerging
modern south. From a development school in 1909 to a junior
college in 1918, to a four-year degree granting institution in 1930,
ASU finally received university status in 1967.
The main campus occupies 800 acres, owns more than 3,000 acres of
land in five different counties, and has a physical plant values at
over $170 million.
With an annual budget of over $50 million, ASU is attended by some
10,000 students annually who work toward degrees in more than 90 areas
of specialization. Approximately 130 baccalaureate degrees
are offered through the colleges of arts and sciences, business,
education, communications, nursing and health professions, fine arts,
engineering, agriculture and applied sciences. Fifteen graduate
degrees in 60 areas are offered, as are pre-professional programs in
nine areas. Two specialist degrees with 18 areas of emphasis are
also offered. Only recently has the institution begun offering a
doctoral degree in educational leadership.
