Our Perspective Is Global

Students from Australia to Vietnam, Bolivia to Yemen, Croatia to Zambia and everywhere in between call the University of Arkansas home. The U of A is proud to host nearly 1,500 international students from 120 countries. Our international students have diverse backgrounds, but they share the common goal of wanting to receive a quality education from a university known for its academic and research excellence.

Hospitality is at the heart of our mission. We strive to create an engaging campus life by providing international education seminars, intercultural training, cultural immersions and country specific workshops.

We encourage our students to look beyond the horizon and seek out study abroad opportunities. We believe practical experiences outside of the United States will better prepare our students to live and succeed in a global society.

Our Approach Is Interdisciplinary

We are strong believers that complex problems must often be approached from multiple angles. This mindset has led to the development of six interdisciplinary graduate degree programs that, together with the appropriate research centers, require collaboration among all of the university’s colleges.

Our programs in Cell and Molecular Biology, Environmental Dynamics, Microelectronics-Photonics, Public Policy, Space and Planetary Sciences and Statistics and Analytics bring a holistic perspective to both old and new challenges in a variety of research areas.
