About This School

University of Arkansas Rich Mountain (UARM) is a public community college in Mena, Arkansas. It has satellite campuses in Waldron, Wickes, Oden, and Mount Ida that serve Polk, Scott, and Montgomery counties. The college serves the citizens of the Ouachita Mountain Region.
This tiny community college — just 475 students — serves a rural corner of Arkansas with satellite campuses spread across the Ouachita Mountain region, making it one of the few accessible options for local residents who can't easily relocate. At roughly $4,914/year after aid and a median debt of only $4,875 at graduation, the financial risk is genuinely low. The honest concern is earning potential: median earnings of $24,100 a decade out suggest graduates largely stay in a lower-wage regional economy, so this makes the most sense as an affordable stepping stone to a four-year school rather than a terminal credential.
