General Information About Southern Arkansas University Main Campus As president of Southern Arkansas University, I want to welcome you to our campus. I am excited about the many opportunities that lie before us at SAU – opportunities to improve your educational experience and to enhance your career goals. I feel strongly that a college education should be more than just something you “endure” to attain a job or launch a career. A college education should be a life-changing experience. It is a time of growth and a time of learning. Learning should take place both in and beyond the classroom. I want you to have a college experience that will truly be one to change your life for the better, and I feel we have the tools at SAU to make that possible. At Southern Arkansas University, we offer a low student-to-faculty ratio that allows you to receive the personal attention you deserve. Our courteous, professional staff members want to help you succeed in every facet of your college experience. I want to personally thank you for stopping by the SAU web page. While you are here, you may use the links provided to explore Admissions, Academics, Athletics, Activities, and Alumni. You can also read about some of the events taking place at SAU by clicking on News. I would also like to invite you to personally visit our campus to meet our students, our faculty, and our staff. A President’s Ambassador will show you around Southern Arkansas University and introduce you to faculty members in the programs that interest you most. I look forward to meeting you. If you want additional information or if I can be of help to you, please contact me at dfrankin@saumag.edu or the Office of Admissions at admissions@saumag.edu.
