THE UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS

Located 20 miles south of Rogers in Fayetteville, the University of Arkansas is Arkansas’ major research university and the largest educational institution in the state. Founded in 1871 as a land-grant college and state university, the University of Arkansas established its campus on a hilltop overlooking the Ozark Mountains. Its "students-first" philosophy is a big reason why the school is consistently ranked among the nation's top public research universities and best values. The Carnegie Foundation classifies the university as having "the highest possible level of research," placing it among the top two percent of colleges and universities nationwide.

The University of Arkansas is the flagship of the University of Arkansas System. Over 27,000 students represent all 50 states and more than 120 countries. The University has 10 colleges and schools and more than 210 academic programs. For more information, visit www.UARK.edu.
