Admissions

Welcome to UAFS Admissions

College of Distinction BadgeThe University of Arkansas - Fort Smith has never really fit the mold of a typical university — and we've never really wanted to. Our passion isn't to replicate how higher education has always been done, but to redefine it for the good of our students, and we mean all of them.

From high school seniors to senior professionals, first-generation students to second-chance underdogs, our goal has always been to provide each student with the most relevant education that honors their unique personal situations and life goals.
