Why should you come to the University of Arkansas? Look at our students, faculty, graduates and facilities. We think it's an easy choice.
Who will be sitting in the desk next to you?
Students at the University of Arkansas engage in research, invention and development - even the undergraduate students - and so could you. The university has more than 200 programs of study, from history to engineering, from drama to geosciences, from accounting to logistics, from animal science to landscape architecture, and everything in between. More than a fourth of our students take classes abroad during their college career, but they call the University of Arkansas home.
Where will you live while at Arkansas?
On campus, residential halls provide a warm home away from home, and the Arkansas Union gives all students social opportunities to meet outside the classroom. You can also exercise with friends at the campus fitness center, on the indoor climbing walls or in the Olympic-size pool. And the Ozark National Forest and the Buffalo National River are a stone's throw away.
Who will be your teachers and mentors?
Professors at the University of Arkansas explore life on Mars, imagine new ways of expressing art, and challenge the old methods of health care, education, commerce, and agriculture. When Bill and Hillary Clinton taught law at the university, they weren't yet known on the national stage, but they had a contagious energy and passion that spread to their students. Today, professors with the same drive and spirit are teaching courses at the University of Arkansas and inspiring students like you to change the world.
Who do you want to become?
University of Arkansas graduates are the chief executive officers of national and international companies. They win national and international awards for their creative writing. They nurse the current generation and teach the next. If your goals have more personal meaning -- perhaps you want to bring clean drinking water to the forests of South America or deter genocide in sub-Saharan Africa -- you'll find professors at the University of Arkansas who are experts in those fields and can show you how. You can set any goal at the University of Arkansas and achieve it. The learning requires discipline, desire and inspiration, but that's what our professors bring to the table.

Seismic Understanding
Pamela Jansma, a professor of geosciences, examined motion on the Earth's surface in millimeters per year, yielding evidence that may help researchers better predict earthquake distribution and volcanic activity in the Caribbean. Researchers know that the Earth's surface is broken into 12 major plates, with some minor plates, but they knew little about how the Caribbean plate moved with respect to other plates before Jansma's research.
