Dear Future Red Wolf:
The choice of which university fits your needs and goals is a very personal one. I encourage you to look at several universities to seek out the one that is the best match for you and your family.
I believe you will discover that almost every university in America has an English department. Teaches organic chemistry. Promotes community engagement. Supports the arts.
What sets at Arkansas State apart are the “ships” we offer to our students. The relationships with your professors, not just as teachers – as mentors. The friendships you will forge with classmates that last a lifetime. The scholarships you can earn to reduce the overall cost of attendance. The internships – whether in a laboratory on campus or at a corporation in our community – that provide real-world experience during your undergraduate years.
Story after story from our alumni tell the same tale: a single professor, an adviser, a staff member who reached out, took the time, and provided mentorship. As you do your research, I encourage you to watch some of the video interviews of our recent graduates. You can find them at AState.edu/SeniorStories. You should also look up some of your future professors to see their personalities at AState.edu/GetToKnow.
Beth and I want to invite you to visit Arkansas State. Come to the Welcome Center and see for yourself. When you visit – and when you become one of the Red Wolves – you can always reach me at Chancellor@AState.edu and on social media @KDamp. I look forward to welcoming you the Pack!



Undergraduate research is common at Arkansas State. Working alongside faculty provides inspiration and insights into how you can reach the next level either in business or in graduate school.
“We encourage students to join us in the lab and take great pride in their achievements.”
- Fabricio Medina-Bolivar



Studies have shown, campus visits are the single most important factor when deciding where to attend college.
We are rolling out the red carpet for you! You’ve got to see A-State to believe it. You’ll discover our beautiful campus, but more importantly, you’ll feel the sense of belonging.
Arkansas State may be a bit off the beaten path, but it is totally worth finding. As soon as you set foot on our campus you’ll feel welcomed, and you’ll know you’ve found the place you can call home.


Why did I choose
A-State?
"When I walked on campus for the first time, I had that ‘ah-ha’ moment and knew this was where I wanted to spend my college years."
— Claudia Raffo


Your campus visit will include:


meeting with our campus experience coordinator, who can answer all your questions, and taking a guided campus tour led by one of our student Chancellor's Ambassadors. You can even meet with a professor from your academic area of interest.
One visit to A-State and you’ll feel the Pack Pride!
