About
The University of Arkansas at Little Rock, located in Little Rock, Arkansas, was founded in 1927 , as Little Rock Junior College. The school was initially located in a public school, eventually moving to its permanent home in 1949. In 1957 the school began offering four year degrees which greatly expanded the school's focus and enrollment.
In 1969 the Little Rock University (the school's name at the time) merged with the University of Arkansas, becoming UALR and establishing the multi-campus University of Arkansas System that is currently comprised of 8 campuses. After this time the school grew very quickly, expanding its program offerings and facilities.
The school now serves over 11,000 students yearly and employs over 500 faculty members. As one of the largest institutions in the state, the school is committed to providing a quality education and is constantly updating and reviewing programs to ensure that they are current and relevant.
Academics
UALR offers over 100 undergraduate programs and nearly 40 graduate programs. The large number of programs ensures that students enrolled at UALR will be able to pursue their academic and professional goals. Undergraduate majors may be augmented through a number of minor degrees, or otherwise assist students in exploring interests outside of their area of focus.
Students will also be able to pursue a number of internship opportunities provided by the school's location, as it is the only metropolitan public institution in the state. Programs are administered through various schools that comprise UALR, which in turn have a number of departments dedicated to specific areas of study. The school also has several libraries to further assist students in research and study.
Programs offered at UALR include:
Admissions and Financial Aid
Students interested in enrollment at UALR must submit an application either through a physical copy or online, as well as provide transcripts and standardized test scores. Once the application is received it will be reviewed by the admissions officers, and a decision will be made regarding enrollment. A final decision will be provided well prior to the start of the fall semester (assuming standard enrollment), at which point the student will participate in orientation, academic counseling and registration.
Financial aid is available in the form of loans, grants, scholarships and work study programs available at the federal and state levels. Students in need of assistance must complete and submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) prior to the financial aid deadline.
Once submitted, the resulting student aid report will be used to determine need, eligibility and awards. Additional information may be asked for by the school prior to the disbursement of funds to ensure informational accuracy. Students may also apply to external scholarships offered by private organizations, each requiring a separate application and offered for a variety of reasons.
