COMMUNITY FEEL
Chancellor Peggy Doss has emphasized the community feel of UAM since she became chancellor in January 2020, and as a graduate herself, she knows the benefit of a tight-knit university. Each of the three UAM campuses — Monticello, Crossett and McGehee — are tied in closely with southeast Arkansas. The entire corner of the state is a largely rural, friendly and safe community of UAM students, alumni, fans and friends. Parents love that the student-to-faculty ratio is a competitive 15:1, with no graduate-assistant instructors. The close attention and numerous student resources ensure that UAM students never feel like a number.
OFFERINGS
UAM offers an array of higher education opportunities — from certificates of proficiency and technical certificates to associate, baccalaureate and master’s degrees — on three campuses. The main campus in Monticello features a traditional residential college experience, but programs at each location have been recognized for quality and affordability. With more than 70 distinct programs of study, including the state’s only College of Forestry, UAM offers something for students of virtually every interest.
EXPERIENCE
On-campus students can choose one of five residence halls where they can grow in their connection to the university community. With student programs held at least weekly, more than 70 student organizations, and 10 NCAA Division II teams to cheer on, UAM students are never short of options for on-campus recreation. The region is also home to some of the nation’s best outdoor activities, such as hunting, fishing, camping and water sports.
