ℹ️ A note about this profile

University of Arkansas at Monticello doesn't publish standardized-test bands or admit-rate data to IPEDS. That usually means the institution is open-admission (no selectivity gate), graduate-focused, or small enough that the federal survey suppresses the numbers. The cost, program, and outcomes data below is still complete — just no admissions-difficulty signal to surface. If you're searching for a more selective Ivy-tier "University", try the search at the top of the page.

🎯 Parent/student verdict

Worth a look

Major value play for in-state residents.

✅ Best for

  • In-state residents (tuition ~$9,292 — major value play)
  • Students drawn to Business, Management, & Marketing or Parks, Recreation, Leisure, & Fitness (the two biggest majors)
  • Families wanting a small liberal-arts experience

Verdict is composed from this college's structured data (admit rate, SAT bands, net price by income, Carnegie classification, scholarship grids) using transparent rule thresholds — not a chat-bot's opinion.
