Southern Arkansas University - Main Campus

Southern Arkansas University (SAU), a comprehensive regional public university, was established in 1909 as the Third District Agricultural School (TDAS). The university was renamed Southern Arkansas University in 1976. Since then, the university has grown to host over 4,000 students. SAU’s faculty and staff invest in student success, and strive to create a caring campus community. The university offers traditional and unique academic degree programs, over 80 of them across four distinct colleges that are ranked nationally for quality and affordability. Nestled in a quiet and beautiful part of south Arkansas, SAU is a great place to study a broad range of academic programs, including offerings unique to the state and region. The university is a short drive from outdoor activities and is central to many regional hubs, such as Texarkana, Shreveport, and Little Rock.
