Online Course Information
Online courses provide students with the flexibility to combine family, work and school responsibilities.
Online courses are designed by the academic colleges and schools at the University of Arkansas to produce the same learning outcomes as traditional, on-campus courses.
Some courses may require instructor or department consent to enroll. Students should check with their advisers regarding course selection.
Estimated Costs

Not Enrolled in a U of A Online Program
Students who reside outside Arkansas and are not enrolled in approved University of Arkansas online programs are subject to pay out-of-state/non-resident tuition and related fees for individual online courses. Tuition and fees per credit hour reflect fall 2022 rates.

Non-Resident Scholarship Opportunity
The University of Arkansas is excited to offer the Chancellor’s Graduate Student Non-Resident Tuition Scholarship (NRTS) for qualifying domestic graduate students. This scholarship will offer new, degree-seeking graduate students entering the University of Arkansas Graduate School (in Fall 2020 or after) an approximately 80% reduction of non-resident graduate career tuition for eligible programs.
Other tuition and fees apply for business, engineering, nursing and law courses. The cost estimates are based on amounts paid by students studying in an approved online degree program. For detailed information, contact the U of A treasurer’s office.
Some courses may have additional fees or special tuition rates. E-mail online@uark.edu to confirm the costs associated with a specific course and section.
