University of Arkansas Reviews

"The pros of my graduate program are the knowledgeable professors, the amazing support to find you a career after graduation, and resources available to students. The cons of my program are the length of the program (30 credit hours in one year), the restriction on working while in the full-time program, and the online blend of courses."

"Studying my Master in Agricultural, Food and Life Sciences - Food Safety Program is one of the greatest experiences I've ever had. The University of Arkansas is an excellent place to reach the goal of having a graduate degree. The academic content of this program is updated. We can study on-line, and work at the same time we qualify our education. The university has good resources to learn and make us feel as part of a family. We can immediately love Razorbacks and enjoy Fayetteville as one of the nicest host city to live while we study. The M.S. Food Safety program offers a great opportunity to join to the food industry with a better professional profile focused on supplying safe food to consumers. I do not have cons about my graduate program.Read Less"

"The faculty want you to succeed, and will do all that they can to make that happen. They aren't just there to get a paycheck."

"The University of Arkansas is great. My graduate program is excellent. I’m taking on-line courses and technical support is good. I feel my professors close even I only have screen contact with them. Academic resources are excellent, especially I love the library. They always help me to find what I need. I also like that I can pay my tuition fees in monthly installments, so it is easy for me to pay. I do not have cons about my program."

"It is a great program. The faculty is also great. There are not any cons."

"It is a beautiful community with several different activities available for students to do, however you must pay for parking almost everywhere. It is rather hilly as well. There are buses that run everywhere in the city and have very helpful and friendly drivers that are willing to help if a person has any questions. Because of these bus route living further away from campus is an option and in turn spending less money on housing. I just started my program, but I have heard the work is tough and very time consuming. They have a 100% graduate rate and employment after graduation. My program only offers two GA positions compared to my undergrad program which offered roughly 6 or more. There are mostly female in my program, but there are at least a third of us from out of state and everyone is welcoming.Read Less"

"Great faculty and staff who actually remember your name and care, small-ish class size, and while it's competitive, it isn't something you feel and are constantly aware of. Also, there are solid athletic programs and a good party culture for when you want to unwind. The largest cons are the horrible parking, having to deal with a separate financial aid and scholarship office that deals with the entire university rather than just the law school, and the fact that Fayetteville can be kind of boring some times.Read Less"

"The combination of online and on campus coursework is perfect for working professionals who want more out of their education than the myriad online-only "colleges" that have sprung up recently. You get a business degree from a major public university with a workload that is easy to fit into your life."

"I enjoy my graduate program, but my specific department is very small. I think I would enjoy it more if there were more grad students in the program to interact with."

"Great affordable program with academic competitiveness that is not too extreme. The workload is a little tough but expected for a law school. I enjoy the program and would recommend it to others."

"My graduate program gives you great feedback from the administration including the professors. My program does require many hours of hard-work so it is a challenging one too."

"The University is great, but there aren't many teachers here who focus on Asian studies or Japanese literature, art and history. The teachers that do are simply amazing and I love working with them. They are the reason I chose this school for graduate school rather than go somewhere that has more course options. The work load is strenuous, but the teachers are understanding and always willing to help."

"A rigorous course load and work. But faculty and staff are very supportive and understanding."

"This summer will be my first time attendin UARK, studying Human Resource Workforce Development. I live in Pine Bluff, AR work for UAPB and the employees have helped me tremendously via phone calls and email. The pro to this graduate program that I'm able to complete the program online with the help of my advisors. This will benefit me because I'm so far away from the actual campus."

"Pros: Great faculty, ample funding, supportive environment, facilitates academic growth and curiosity, high collegiality among both students and faculty, great undergraduate students as well, very helpful administrative assistants, minimal red tape. No cons really. I love it here and will be sad when I leave."

"Great PhD program with amazing people (both faculty and PhD students)."

"The faculty is great. Very knowledgeable and some of the best in their field. They expect their students to work hard and become proficient in every aspect of what they do. Whether it is just writing lab reports to performing full on exercise tests. The program is set up in a way to further your knowledge in your desired field. Each class relates/builds off of previous ones. The campus atmosphere is great. You become a true Razorback fan while you're here."

"I am in an online program at the University of Arkansas. I love that the program works for my schedule as a working single mother. There is a lot of work, but it does not seem difficult, and sometimes the grading seems too easy. There were barely any requirements to get into the program, which makes me think it might be too easy."

"It's really good to attend the graduate program because I actually have learned a lot."

"Very knowledgeable professors who really care if you are understanding the material. Make a lot of lasting contacts which are great for networking."
