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 is amazing! The professors I have are very nice and are willing to help you if you have questions. I've also been able to engage with them enough that they know me by my first name. I went to Guatemala for study abroad and my Spanish teacher helped me get reimbursement money since I applied for the scholarship too late. Now, about the college itself, everyone I've met are nice and it's sooo easy to make friends. The only complaint I have about the college is the financial office or just some of the offices in general. The people are nice but if you do not constantly email them, it will take them forever to get back to you.
