University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences

The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) is a public university located in Little Rock, Arkansas, with an enrollment of approximately 1,571 students. As its name suggests, the institution focuses on health sciences education. Among the programs relevant to career-focused students, UAMS offers training in fields such as occupational therapy and physical therapy.

About 27.8% of students at UAMS receive Pell grants, which are awarded to students demonstrating financial need. Roughly one in three students (32.7%) takes out federal student loans to help cover costs. Among students who completed a credential and borrowed federal loans, the median loan debt at graduation was $14,000. The three-year loan repayment rate — the share of borrowers whose loan balance is actively decreasing — stands at 80.7%, indicating that a substantial majority of borrowers are making meaningful progress on their debt.

On earnings, federally-aided students who enrolled at UAMS had median earnings of $73,827 measured ten years after enrollment. It is worth noting that this figure covers all students who received federal financial aid and enrolled — including those who did not complete a credential — so it reflects a broad population rather than graduates alone.

Prospective students should contact UAMS directly for current information on tuition, fees, and net price, as specific cost-of-attendance figures were not available for this profile.
