The University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff (UAPB)is an outstanding institute of higher learning. Here we offer a plethora of opportunities for further development and growth. Student here are friendly and we are all like a family. It is a close knit family environment. Even though our campus is on the smaller side it is very easy to learn and become acclimated to. Our faculty is nice and interested in educating us and make time when we reach out for help. Class numbers are small so most teachers will know you by name and will notice when you do not show for class. I actually missed class one day and my teacher called to check to see if everything was okay. So our teachers really care about our well-being as well as our education We have a number of groups and student organizations that you students an join. We are D1 school and sports are important to us football and basketball games get the most attendance. We would love to have you here at UAPB so come and join the PRIDE !!
