University of Arkansas at Monticello School Description

The University of Arkansas-Monticello shares with all universities the commitment to search for truth and understanding through scholastic endeavor. The University seeks to enhance and share knowledge, to preserve and promote the intellectual content of society, and to educate people for critical thought. The University provides learning experiences which enable students to synthesize knowledge, communicate effectively, use knowledge and technology with intelligence and responsibility, and act creatively within their own and other cultures.

The University strives for excellence in all its endeavors. Educational opportunities encompass the liberal arts, basic and applied sciences, selected professions, and vocational and technical preparation. These opportunities are founded in a strong program of general education and are fulfilled through contemporary disciplinary curricula, certification programs, and vocational/technical education or workforce training. The University assures opportunities in higher education for both traditional and non-traditional students and strives to provide an environment which fosters individual achievement and personal development.

Many of our students are the first in their families to attend college and to receive a degree. Others are non-traditional students who have decided to take advantage of the opportunity to change careers or complete a dream that began years ago. There are opportunities to get involved in academic, social, educational, leadership, cultural, and recreational programs. Living on campus is convenient, cost effective and rewarding. UAM hosts over 60 campus organizations that provide a stimulating and interesting venue for learning life skills, as well as enriching your educational tenure. In addition, many offices offer on-campus employment for UAM students. The faculty and staff are exploring and developing new opportunities to help you obtain a higher education. We have expanded the opportunities available to students with the merger of institutions in McGehee and Crossett.
