About University of Arkansas

Fun fact: the teams are the Boll Weevils and Cotton Blossoms, a nod to the region's roots. UAM is known for practical, career-minded academics in areas like natural resources, education, business, health, and technology. Classes feel personal, and faculty tend to know students by name. You'll see plenty of hands-on learning in labs, studios, and field sites that look a lot like the jobs students want after graduation.

The Monticello campus is tree-lined and easygoing, with a library, tutoring and advising hubs, counseling and health services, a rec complex, residence halls, and spaces for music and theater. Students jump into clubs, intramurals, outdoor trips, and spirited game days. The culture is friendly and straight-shooting, and staff are quick to point you to help when you need it. Career services connect students with regional schools, clinics, agencies, and forestry or ag-related employers. Town life brings small-town hospitality, local eateries, and quick access to lakes and trails.
