About This School

Southern Arkansas University Tech is a technical institute in Calhoun County, Arkansas, United States.

Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable technical education with minimal financial risk — at just $4,500 in median debt at graduation and under $6,000 per year in net cost, this is one of the cheaper paths to a credential you'll find anywhere. The concern is the post-graduation earnings picture: students are making around $31,200 a decade after enrolling, which is modest and worth weighing against your specific career goals and local job market in the Camden, AR area. Best fit for students pursuing a targeted technical trade or certificate who want to avoid significant debt, not for those expecting a high-earning career boost.
