Arkansas State University

Arkansas State University is a comprehensive public research university in Jonesboro with doctoral programs and an applied, regionally engaged character. Companies plug into shared-use core labs and collaborative spaces that bring faculty, students, and engineers together, while an on-campus medical-school partnership enables clinical collaborations with regional health systems. Its location in Northeast Arkansas places A‑State amid a growing manufacturing and logistics corridor and the heart of Delta agriculture, providing convenient access to plants, suppliers, farms, and hospitals for pilots, validation, and workforce pipelines. Research is supported by competitive federal and state funding, including awards from agencies such as NSF, NIH, USDA, and DOE. A dedicated technology transfer office accelerates IP protection, sponsored research agreements, and startup formation.
