Chancellor’s Welcome

The University of Arkansas at Little Rock is a public university in every sense of the word. We exist to serve you, the people of Arkansas, our country, and the world.

UALR provides a high-quality education to a wonderful and very diverse group of students. We offer a broad range of academic programs including a comprehensive set of undergraduate majors, 45 master’s degrees, a law degree, and 11 doctorates. Our alumni are leaders in Arkansas government, law, education, technology, social service, business, health care, and the arts. Indeed, UALR alumni are serving in the U.S. Congress and in important roles around the world.

The university has been cited in three important economic development studies as critical to Arkansas’s future. UALR plays a large role in enabling the community and the state to compete in the global, increasingly knowledge-based economy. In central Arkansas, UALR plays a significant role in turning talk of regional cooperation into reality. In Little Rock, UALR is committed to revitalizing the section of the city in which the university is located.

Whether you are considering attending UALR in person or on-line, I encourage you to explore all the university has to offer. UALR is on the fast track for the future, and we can help you reach your full potential as we move forward together.

Welcome to the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.

Sincerely,

Joel E. Anderson
Chancellor
