Arkansas State University Three Rivers

Arkansas State University Three Rivers is a public university located in Malvern, Arkansas, with an enrollment of approximately 550 students.

In-state tuition is $3,788 per year, and out-of-state tuition is $4,388 per year. However, the average annual net price — the estimated total cost of attendance, including tuition, fees, and living expenses, after grant and scholarship aid is applied — is $8,070. This figure can exceed published tuition because it accounts for living costs beyond classroom fees. About 14.2% of students receive Pell Grants, a federal aid program for lower-income students. Roughly 19.6% of all students take out federal student loans, and among those who completed a credential, the median federal loan debt was $10,250. Of borrowers entering repayment, 44.9% are making progress in reducing their loan balance within three years — meaning a notable share are not yet reducing what they owe, which may reflect income levels, loan amounts, or repayment plan choices.

Arkansas State University Three Rivers offers programs in skilled trades, including plumbing, making it a potential option for adults pursuing vocational or technical credentials.

On student outcomes, the median earnings figure reported for this school is $37,374 annually, measured approximately 10 years after enrollment. This figure covers all federally-aided students who enrolled at the institution — including those who did not complete a credential — so it reflects a broad range of outcomes rather than earnings among graduates alone.
