OVERVIEW
One of University of Arkansas at Little Rock’s biggest strengths is its location in the heart of Arkansas and Little Rock, a city voted the “best place to live” in 2013 by Kiplinger’s magazine. UALR is at the epicenter of gov- ernment, commerce, culture, health care and nonprofit organizations.

With more than 100 undergraduate programs and an average class size of 14, UALR still offers lots of opportuni- ties for learning and growing in a community that emphasizes personal success for students.
