About This School
University of Arkansas at Monticello is a public institution located in Monticello, Arkansas with approximately 1,868 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $14,013 per year. The graduation rate is 43%, and the typical graduate earns $35,800 within 10 years of enrollment.
The University of Arkansas at Monticello (UAM) is a public university in Monticello, Arkansas, United States, with Colleges of Technology in Crossett and McGehee. UAM is part of the University of Arkansas System and offers master's degrees, baccalaureate degrees, and associate degrees. The city is in the Arkansas Timberlands, and UAM is home to the state's only School of Forest Resources.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $14,013/year average net price and only $11,364 in median debt at graduation, UAM is genuinely affordable, and its one-of-a-kind School of Forest Resources makes it a smart pick for students interested in forestry, natural resources, or timber industries in the South. The concerns are real, though — a 43% graduation rate and median earnings of $35,800 a decade out suggest many students struggle to finish, and those who do aren't landing especially high-paying careers. Worth considering if you have a clear fit with their specialized programs and a solid plan to stay enrolled, but it's not a safe default choice just because it's cheap.
