The College of Veterinary Medicine is one of nine colleges at Arkansas State University and is situated in the heart of Arkansas's agricultural industry on Crowley's Ridge in beautiful Jonesboro, a one-hour drive from Memphis, Tennessee. Arkansas State University is a Carnegie Research 2 institution. Existing University resources include the College of Agriculture and associated University Farm, a 240 acre farm with equine, bovine, and other livestock facilities and the Arkansas Biosciences Institute, which offers opportunities for biomedical and agricultural sciences research. 

 A beautiful new 56,000 square foot CVM Building has been constructed to house teaching facilities, including state-of the art laboratory spaces for anatomy, clinical skills, and surgical skills instruction and faculty offices.  In addition, we have completed two new barns (one bovine, one equine) to support large animal clinical skills training.  More information about our program can be found on our website.
