University of Arkansas Grantham is a public online university based in Little Rock, Arkansas. Founded in 1951 as Grantham Radio License School, it would eventually be renamed Grantham University. The then-for-profit school offered distance-education programs from 1951 until 2021, at which point it was entirely online. Grantham was purchased by the University of Arkansas System for one dollar in 2021, merging with the latter’s eVersity online program. It is composed of four colleges: the College of Business; the College of Humanities and Social Sciences; the College of Science, Engineering, and Technology; and the College of Health Professions. It is accredited by the Distance Education Accrediting Commission.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $9,325/year net price and a median debt of only $8,491 at graduation, the cost is genuinely low — making it an accessible option for budget-conscious students, particularly working adults pursuing online degrees. However, the 24% graduation rate and 24% freshman retention rate are serious red flags, suggesting most students who start here don't finish, which is worth understanding before enrolling. If you're highly self-motivated and need a low-cost, flexible program, this could work — but ask hard questions about support services and completion rates in your specific program before committing.
