In the last few years alone, Arkansas has allocated over $714 million annually to the state's higher education system. It also recently passed legislation to assist with student transfer credits and to add an additional 7 million in scholarship aid. Additionally, Arkansas residents as well as non-residents have the opportunity to participate in the unique Arkansas 529 plan, a statewide operation that helps parents and grandparents save money for their students' academic futures.
"These state-issued commitments to accessible and affordable education that prepares students to be successful leaders in their communities makes Arkansas a great place to earn a degree," Christian Amondson, Managing Editor of College Choice, said of the ranking. "That is why we've put together this list, ranking the state's best colleges and universities."
College Choice developed its list by looking at academic quality, student body diversity, and return on investment—the differential between tuition costs and average early career earnings.
