School Overview
The University of Arkansas, often referred to as U of A, UARK, or simply UA, is a public, four-year, coeducational, research university located in Fayetteville, Arkansas. According to the Carnegie Foundation, U of A is classified as a research university with “very high research activity.” It is also the flagship campus for the University of Arkansas System. The university was first established as the Arkansas Industrial University in 1871. Twenty eight years later, in 1899, its name was changed to the University of Arkansas. U of A is well-known for its exceptional academic and professional programs in business, architecture, agriculture, communication disorders, history, law, creative writing, and Middle Eastern studies.
Current enrollment at U of A is roughly 24,500, making it one of the largest universities in the State of Arkansas, and the entire country. U of A is located on a 345 acre campus which is home to over 130 buildings, including Old Main, the university’s oldest building and a recognized symbol of higher education in Arkansas. U of A offers over 200 academic programs and has an attractive student-to-faculty ration of 17 to 1. While average tuition rates across the nation rose at nearly 7% between 2009 and 2010, tuition rates at U of A did not increase due to a large financial donation from the university’s Athletics Department. However, in 2010, tuition increases of 3 to 6 percent were announced by the University of Arkansas Board of Trustees in order to compensate for a decrease in state funding of higher education. During the 2011 academic year, University Arkansas experienced a nearly 5% increase in tuition and fees, on par with the rest of the nation.
