Larson (president, 1930-1950). Despite limited funding, Larson was determined to see LRJC flourish. In 1929, his aspirations for expanding the junior college were fulfilled when former Arkansas Gov. George W. Donaghey named LRJC as the sole beneficiary of a trust valued in excess of $2 million.<br>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An increased commitment to public service marked the school’s growth over the next decades as LRJC continually found new ways to meet the community’s educational needs. For instance, the school responded to Little Rock’s employment demands by offering vocational instruction in areas such as surveying and pattern-making and educated non-traditional students through adult education courses in art history, sketching, and literature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1957, the institution began a four\u2010year degree program, became independent and privately supported under a separate board of trustees, and took the name Little Rock University.Jaycee moved to its current location in 1949 after Little Rock businessman Raymond Rebsamen generously donated an 80-acre tract of land on Hayes Street. With a campus of its own and financial support from the Little Rock business community, LRJC thrived over the next decade – adding new buildings, increasing enrollment, and eventually outgrowing its junior college status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-merger-and-expansion\">Merger and expansion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"779\" src=\"https:\/\/ualr.edu\/about\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2013\/11\/1960-61-University-accredited-by-NCACSS-1024x779.jpg\" alt=\"University accredited by NCACSS\" class=\"wp-image-293\" style=\"width:535px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ualr.edu\/about\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2013\/11\/1960-61-University-accredited-by-NCACSS-1024x779.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ualr.edu\/about\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2013\/11\/1960-61-University-accredited-by-NCACSS-700x532.jpg 700w, https:\/\/ualr.edu\/about\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2013\/11\/1960-61-University-accredited-by-NCACSS-98x75.jpg 98w, https:\/\/ualr.edu\/about\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2013\/11\/1960-61-University-accredited-by-NCACSS-320x243.jpg 320w, https:\/\/ualr.edu\/about\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2013\/11\/1960-61-University-accredited-by-NCACSS-480x365.jpg 480w, https:\/\/ualr.edu\/about\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2013\/11\/1960-61-University-accredited-by-NCACSS-940x715.jpg 940w, https:\/\/ualr.edu\/about\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2013\/11\/1960-61-University-accredited-by-NCACSS-444x337.jpg 444w, https:\/\/ualr.edu\/about\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2013\/11\/1960-61-University-accredited-by-NCACSS-684x520.jpg 684w, https:\/\/ualr.edu\/about\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2013\/11\/1960-61-University-accredited-by-NCACSS-924x703.jpg 924w, https:\/\/ualr.edu\/about\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2013\/11\/1960-61-University-accredited-by-NCACSS.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>\nAfter several years of discussion and study, Little Rock University in September 1969 merged with the University of Arkansas to create the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. That was a major step in the creation of a multi\u2010campus system that now includes eight campuses: University of Arkansas, Fayetteville; University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences; University of Arkansas at Little Rock; University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff; University of Arkansas at Monticello; Phillips Community College of the University of Arkansas; University of Arkansas Community College at Hope; and University of Arkansas Community College at Batesville. Within this structure, UALR is state supported, operationally separate, and specifically oriented toward serving the educational needs of Arkansas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The University of Arkansas merger began a period of rapid growth, which saw UALR go from about 3,500 students and 75 full\u2010time faculty members in 1969 to more than 12,000 students and 500 full\u2010time faculty members today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The University\u2019s expanded offerings now include more than 100 undergraduate majors, an extensive schedule of night, weekend, and off\u2010campus classes, and a wide range of community educational services. UALR began offering graduate and professional work in 1975, and the UALR Graduate School was created in 1977.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-leadership\">Leadership<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Presidents include R.C.

At UA Little Rock, we prepare our more than 9,000 students to be innovators and responsible leaders in their fields. Committed to its metropolitan research university mission, UA Little Rock is a driving force in Little Rock\u2019s thriving cultural community and a major component of the city and state\u2019s growing profile as a regional leader in research, technology, economic development, and job creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-academics\">Academics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>UA Little Rock students get to learn from the best professors around in classes that are as engaging as they are rigorous. Coursework blends critical thinking with real-world experience, providing a springboard for internships and later careers in such in-demand fields as <a href=\"http:\/\/ualr.edu\/nursing\">nursing<\/a>, engineering, data quality, criminal justice, and education. The university offers more than 60 <a href=\"https:\/\/ualr.edu\/academics\/undergraduate\/\">undergraduate programs<\/a> and more than 40 graduate programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>U.S. News and World Report has recognized the <a href=\"http:\/\/ualr.edu\/law\">William H. Bowen School of Law<\/a>\u2019s legal writing program as one of the nation\u2019s Top 10, the School of Business among the top tier business schools in the country, and the George W. Donaghey College of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math\u2019s systems engineering program as one of the best in the South.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UA Little Rock nursing students have the advantage of one of the country\u2019s top state-of-the-art simulation hospitals, known as SimCare. It\u2019s a 22-bed, high-fidelity hospital, training students in all areas of care as they work with interactive manikins that simulate a variety of medical-surgical scenarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Applied Design, a UA Little Rock program to study contemporary studio craft such as ceramics, metalsmithing and jewelry, and furniture design and woodworking is the only degree program of its kind in the state and one of the very few accredited programs in this specialty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The UA Little Rock School of Criminal Justice houses the largest criminal justice program in the state and offers the only Ph.D. criminal justice program in Arkansas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-research\">Research<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether it’s building a better tomato or looking into cancer treatments, students get an opportunity to work alongside faculty, putting their knowledge to use in UA Little Rock’s state-of-the-art research facilities. Additionally, they are tackling big data for businesses and curating historical collections for the world to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UA Little Rock is a regional leader in using and teaching advanced technology in areas such as nanotechnology, information quality, and emerging analytics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-campus\">Campus<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The UA Little Rock community embodies the Trojan spirit, which can be seen in the numerous acts of giving and outreach that take place on campus and beyond. As we embark on our institution\u2019s Centennial Campaign, we look forward to expanding transformational opportunities for our students and building on our partnerships to fuel economic growth and community well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-metropolitan-university\">A Metropolitan University<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A metropolitan university has a diverse student body: students are on average older and diverse in ethnic, racial, and socioeconomic background. Because the makeup of a metropolitan university is different, the mission of such an institution is different as well. Metropolitan universities must educate their students, but they also have to teach them to be effective citizens and capable in their chosen professions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Metropolitan universities also have to reach beyond the borders of the campus. They must serve the needs of the community in which they are located by developing partnerships with public and private enterprises. A metropolitan university is an integral part of its region, shaped by its community even as it works with its community to shape its joint future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The University of Arkansas at Little Rock is a metropolitan research university that provides an accessible, quality education through flexible learning and unparalleled internship opportunities.
