Look Around. Decide What You Want to Study.

In Fulbright College, you can choose a major from 19 departments, ranging from psychology and sociology to history and physics. The college also has interdiscipllinary programs and several high profile research centers, such as the Center for Protein Structure and Function and the King Fahd Center for Middle East and Islamic Studies.

In our Fulbright Advising Center, you will find caring and knowledgeable advisors who will help you choose a major and then stay on course toward completing your degree.

On average, we offer 1,722 classes every semester. Regardless of what classes you take, you can expect to be challenged to develop critical thinking skills and new perspectives.

Discover the many ways you can pay for your education.

Myriad ways to fund your education exist— so many, in fact, they can seem overwhelming. The University of Arkansas alone annually awards over $100 million of financial aid and scholarships to students. Financial aid is divided into categories of grants, work study, loans, and scholarships.

We encourage you to start by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Millions of dollars in federal financial aid are awarded to UA students each year, and there is no fee to apply.

The University of Arkansas has one single application for entering freshman academic scholarships, which include the Chancellor’s, Sturgis, Silas Hunt, University, Leadership, and Honors College Academy Scholarships. Students can begin this process by completing the online application or download and print a paper application. This single application will allow you to apply for 90% of merit-based scholarships available to entering freshmen.

Learn what you can expect from Fulbright College.

You should expect to be challenged — and supported — by faculty who are accomplished teachers and productive scholars. Many work directly with students — in laboratories, classrooms, and somtimes, in places as distant as Jordan. You can expect our advising center to help with your scheduling, you can expect our staff to assist you when you visit department offices, and you can expect programs such as First Year Experience to help you adjust to life on campus.

Learn what we will expect from you.

College is a commitment — to your intellectual growth and to your future. Your classes will be challenging and rewarding. You'll find that with perserverance and good study habits, you should flourish as you discover new perspectives in your classes. Studies in the liberal arts are designed to be intellectually exciting for students as they discover the many interrelated themes and ideas that connect various disciplines, such as art and music or literature and physics.

For example, in one inriguing project, Visualizing the Roman City, college faculty and students in the humanities and at the Center for Advanced Spatial Technologies teams with their counterparts in architecture recreate Ostia, and ancient port city in Rome. Integrating technology, history, and construction techniques, they rendered three-dimensional models of the city.

See the world through new eyes — study abroad.

Senator Fulbright believed that fostering leadership, learning, and empathy among cultures could create a more hopeful future for humanity. The best way to do that is to travel and study abroad. Here is just a sampling of the opportunities we have to offer:

In partnership with Peacework, Inc. the college launched an international service learning program that allows students and faculty to foster community development in Belize, whose economic, technological, and cultural conditions resemble those of our own Arkansas Delta, or of the Native American reservations of the Southwest.
Instead of sitting in a classroom, viewing slides of great art and architecture, students who visit the Rome Study Center visit the most important classical, medieval, and early modern sites in Rome.
Students who sign up for the South Africa study abroad trip sign on for the experience of a lifetime. They camp in the Nash Game Reserve, visit the Cradle of Humankind, the Apartheid Museum, and Gold Reef City, take safari drives at night, and sleep in thatched Zulu homes on Zinkwazi Beach.
Some students shape their own study abroad programs. Chemistry and music major Drew Cogbill spent a month in Ghana at the Prampram Health Clinic, administering injections, weighing babies to chart their growth, recording vital signs and patient history, and observing his first birth.

See what happens when our students graduate.

You find Fulbright grduates in every field imaginable. They are

corporate chiefs for major U.S. companies such as Hewlett Packard.

Diverse and accomplished, they are changing the world for the better.

Most importantly, enjoy your years in college.

As one of our advisors likes to say, college is a four-year minute. Make the best of it.
