At UALR, there is no question about our mission – to educate students to work and live in the complex, diverse, technological world of the 21st Century. Our role as a metropolitan university is not solely about location. It is about extending academic resources to strengthen the community, state, and region for mutual benefit.
Seven colleges and schools offer more than 100 degree programs in liberal arts, business education, information science and systems engineering, law, professional studies, science and mathematics. UALR also offers graduate education – in fact, the graduate program is one of the fastest growing in the state.
