About the University of Arkansas

With outstanding students, highly recognized areas of study and primo sports programs, the University of Arkansas is a major source of pride for both Fayetteville and the state.

Founded in 1871, it’s the state’s largest and most distinguished institution of higher learning. More than 19,000 students and 3,500 faculty and staff call the U of A home.

The campus overflows with beauty and history. Beginning at the front steps of Old Main, every graduate’s name is etched into Senior Walk, a pathway stretching more than five miles. Among the alumni listed are Robert Mauer, inventor of fiber optic technology, Jerry Jones, owner of the Dallas Cowboys and J. Walker Keller, developer of the heart pacemaker.

The state’s only major research university offers a high-caliber education, with 216 undergraduate and graduate programs in nine schools. Nationally, the U of A is ranked within the top 150 research universities, yet the institution continues to hold place among America’s 100 Best College Buys.

The Razorbacks are dedicated to the pursuit of excellence, and game-time is no exception. Since joining the Southeastern Conference 15 years ago, the Hogs have won 27 national championships.

Semester after semester, season after season, academically and athletically, the University of Arkansas continually sets the mark for high achievement in Arkansas and nationwide.
