Cost Overview

Most families pay around $16,136 annually at UALR, well below the sticker price. Low-income students pay just $14,143 per year, while wealthy families pay about $21,000. Over four years, expect total costs between $56,500 and $84,000 depending on family income.

Graduates typically leave with $22,000 in debt, translating to $233 monthly payments. That's manageable against median earnings of $45,265 ten years out. The 57.73% loan repayment rate shows some students struggle financially after graduation. Women make up nearly two-thirds of students, and 87% come from Arkansas.

In-state students get the strongest value here. They pay roughly half what out-of-state students do for tuition. First-generation college students benefit most since 41% receive Pell Grants. The combination of low tuition, modest debt loads, and decent post-graduation earnings makes UALR affordable for Arkansas families seeking a four-year degree in the state capital.
