The numbers speak for themselves. Southern Arkansas University, the fastest growing university in Arkansas in 2015, continues to attract more students along with honors and accolades because of SAU’s quality and affordable education.
SAU was ranked sixth in the nation for affordability and quality by BestValueSchools.com.
To be ranked that high in the U.S. for low cost is quite an accomplishment as tuition costs for most higher education institutions are on the rise. While staying affordable for students, SAU maintains a high level of quality academics, a friendly atmosphere, and the complete college experience to ensure SAU graduates are successful in their careers and lives after college.
In fact, SAU has the highest return on investment among all universities in Arkansas according to the U.S. Department of Education.
Other recent accolades earned by SAU include the following:
- SAU was ranked sixth in the U.S. in the “50 Most Affordable Public Schools for Out-of-State Students” by AffordableColleges.com.
