Transfer Students

Welcome Home

You experience the UAFS difference the moment you step onto campus. The size of our university — just over 5,000 students — fosters a sense of belonging that isn't easily replicated at larger institutions.

UAFS is the most affordable four-year institution in the state of Arkansas and offers the same in-state tuition rates to residents of all bordering states. This affordability paired with more than 70 career-focused academic pathways, including certificates, associate, bachelor’s, and master’s degrees, makes UAFS an incomparable value.
