В Арканзасе открылась первая в штате ветеринарная школа

Arkansas State University set to complete first veterinary school in state JONESBORO, Ark. (KAIT) - Arkansas State University is scheduled to finish construction on its $33.2 million veterinary school this week. The school will be the first veterinary school in the state of Arkansas. The 56,000-square-foot building is expected to welcome 120 students this fall. The project has been underway since 2024 and broke ground in March 2025. Dr. Heidi Banse, dean of the A-State Veterinary School of Medicine, said the school will benefit the community and allow Arkansas students to remain in-state for their education. “Prior to this, all Arkansas students had to go out-of-state for their education,” Banse said. “The state of Arkansas did fund students to go out at an out-of-state rate, but still, they had to leave and didn’t always come back to serve their community.” To report a typo or correction, please click here.
