About This School

Arkansas State University Three Rivers is a public institution located in Malvern, Arkansas with approximately 550 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $8,070 per year. The graduation rate is 30%, and the typical graduate earns $31,000 within 10 years of enrollment.

Arkansas State University Three Rivers is a public, two year college in Malvern, Arkansas. In 2020, it joined the ASU System and changed to its current name.

This two-year community college in Malvern is worth considering if you're looking to minimize upfront costs — at just $7,520/year average net price and a median debt of only $6,500 at graduation, it's one of the more affordable paths available. The concern worth flagging is that median earnings sit at $31,000 ten years out, which is modest, so this works best as a stepping stone toward transfer or a specific vocational goal rather than a final destination on its own.
