University of Arkansas - Little Rock, William H. Bowen School of Law

With a student body of approximately 440 and one of the lowest student/faculty ratios of any law school — 15 to 1 — the UALR Bowden School of Law offers a challenging educational experience in a close and supportive environment. Smaller classes enhance the learning experience. Students interact with their peers and with the members of the faculty to a degree not possible at many schools. Our faculty is an experienced group of caring teachers and scholars. The academic experience at the UALR Bowen School of Law is challenging and rigorous, yet supportive. In addition, our low tuition enables our graduates to choose among a wide variety of employment opportunities without worrying about paying off an enormous debt.
