WHAT WE HAVE TO OFFER  YOU .

Fulbright College is the largest on campus, the most diverse, and the only College in the world named after Senator J. William Fulbright. Our mission is taken from his writings: "the teaching of things in perspective."

We offer master's or doctoral degrees, often both, in our 19 departments, ranging from anthropology, art, and English to chemistry, physics, and biology. Graduate students work closely with faculty mentors in classrooms and laboratories across campus.

Through the Graduate School, the University of Arkansas offers ample fellowships and other financial support. Many of the college's departments offer assistantships, which pay for tuition and provide a monthly stipend.

Apply Yourself

You can either apply online or complete an application form. Be sure to fill out all areas completely, use your legal name, and specify the exact degree and major you are seeking.

Send an application fee of $40 ($50 for international students), which is required for all new applicants to the Graduate School, including those earning their bachelor’s degree from the University of Arkansas. We cannot accept cash or debit/credit cards. Send it to the Office of Admissions, 232 Silas H. Hunt Hall, University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, AR 72701.

The Graduate School needs two official transcripts from every institution you have attenedd, even if coursework from one institution appears on the transcript of another institution.

Main transcripts to 19 Ozark Hall, University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, AR 72701.

Innovative Programs

Committed to the Fulbright legacy of "the teaching of things in perspective," the college supports several innovative and interdisciplinary graduate programs. Students in the sciences can gain that laboratory and research experience they need through cutting-edge centers and programs in protein structure and function, See for yourself.

• Researchers at the Center for Semiconductor Physics in Nanostructures are devising new systems to improve computing power, data storage, and communication speed.
• Graduate students in the Environmental Dynamics Program are studying the complex interactions between natural systems and human activity. The interdisciplinary program integrates the power, efficiency, and economy of advanced computer-based technologies. The primary focus is on human-environmental interactions within recent Earth history.
• At the Arkansas Center for Space and Planetary Sciences, students and faculty conduct research on astronomy and planetary science, the geology and biology of the planets, and asteroid and comet surfaces. They design instruments and plan missions for the exploration of our solar system and other planetary systems. Major facilities include the W.M. Keck Laboratory for Planetary Simulation.
• Researchers in the Center for Protein Structure and Function are collaborating to develop promising new approaches to biomedical research in protein structure and function. During the initial five years of the Center, eight outstanding new faculty have been hired, and core facilities in NMR spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography, mass spectrometry, large-scale protein production, and high-throughput synthesis have been established. The Center supports five multidisciplinary research projects involving over 20 faculty members in three different departments.
• The graduate creative writing program is one of the most productive and respected in the country. It is a working program, with up to seven intensive workshops and courses in poetics and fiction theory, along with literature both traditional and contemporary. Students prepare themselves for the life of the writer and also have the benefit of biannual visits by guest writers who give readings, teach workshops, and offer individual attention to student work.
