Academics

Studying online: a substantial share study entirely online

In Fall 2023, 170 of University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff's 2,100 students (8%) were enrolled entirely at a distance. A further 1,336 (64%) took at least one distance course alongside in-person study.

Distance-education figures count STUDENTS enrolled in Fall 2023, not programs on offer. "Exclusively at a distance" means a student took only distance courses that term. A college with few or no such students may still run online courses or an online degree, so a low figure is not evidence that online study is unavailable, and a high one is not a judgement of quality either way.

University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff reports a graduation rate of approximately 40%. This measures the share of a prior entering cohort who completed their degree within the federal tracking window.
