Education

The U of A has 10 colleges and schools offering more than 210 academic programs. 

Research

The University of Arkansas is classified among the research universities with the highest level of research, measured by number of doctoral degrees, research expenditures and scholarly productivity. This research and creative work is fundamental to moving the university into the top 50 ranking of public research universities in America.

We've identified six broad research strengths that stretch across multiple colleges and schools of the university. They don't cover everything we do, but they suggest how much we embrace interdisciplinary work: Health, Nanotechnology, Energy and Environment, Art, Architecture and Humanities, Food Safety, Supply Chain, Retail and Transportation.
