University of Arkansas at Little Rock

University of Arkansas at Little Rock is the third largest university, by enrolment, in Arkansas, USA. The university is located on University Avenue in Little Rock, Arkansas, near the state's capitol. Established as Little Rock Junior College by the Little Rock School District in 1927, it became a private four-year institution, called Little Rock University, in 1957. It returned to public status in 1969 when it was merged into the University of Arkansas System under its present name. The University of Arkansas at Little Rock (UALR) is a metropolitan university with a student population of 12,000 full and part-time students, and has a large number of non-traditional (e.g., part-time and commuting) students. Because of the school's location in the state capital, UALR students may benefit from close contact with leaders in government, business, industry, medicine, and information technology.
