I am a biology major and I really love the faculty in the department. They're really great! There's not much to do in the town, but that doesn't bother me too much. SAU Is great with scholarships, and most people I know get a refund from financial aid! I got accepted into lots of more "prestigious" colleges, but the value here outweighs everything. I love being able to leave debt-free.
Southern Arkansas University offers many online options. I took a few online classes while I also attended on campus. These classes are very flexible and engaging to take. They also offer one of the best Academic and Value based MBA degrees. Don't forget online learning is very much self-motivation based learning. If you can practice good time management, as well as good self-study, you will succeed. The professors are always quick to email you back as well. I would recommend SAU to anyone!
Southern Arkansas University's motto is "feels like home" and that is true right from the first moment you step foot on campus. It is set in a beautiful small town, Magnolia Arkansas, and there are opportunities all around to be out in nature and enjoy the large green campus. The people are all so welcoming and lovely and there is a true feeling of belonging and comfort at the school. As a theatre major the theatre department is wonderful and has great facilities. It also gives students a nice outlet for creativity and entertainment when there are shows being performed. All in all, SAU is a wonderful school.
