Today, the institution has more than 100,000 alumni and meets the needs of individuals and communities at all points along the educational continuum.
A Carnegie Research 2 university, A-State hosts the first osteopathic medical school in Arkansas, the New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine, and opened the first U.S.-style residential campus in Mexico in fall of 2017.
With the Discover 2025 Strategic Plan as its guide, A-State is engaged in creating collaboration opportunities including the Center for No-Boundary Thinking and exploring a public-private partnership to bring the first College of Veterinary Medicine to the state.
Undergraduate experiences have been highlighted for the last decade with the Create@State spring conference.
