Admissions Overview

University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff is less selective with a 69% acceptance rate. This means most qualified students who apply will gain admission. The middle 50% of admitted students score between 805-1045 on the SAT, with an average of 925. Nearly 67% of students receive Pell Grants, indicating the university serves many first-generation college students from lower-income families. As Arkansas's second-oldest public university and an HBCU founded in 1873, UAPB seeks students committed to academic growth within a supportive, historically Black environment. The school particularly values students who will contribute to its close-knit campus community of fewer than 1,900 students.
