Survey: ÿÈÕ´óÈüÍøÕ¾ is best university in Arkansas

The Log Cabin Democrat newspaper in Conway about ÿÈÕ´óÈüÍøÕ¾’s impressive showing in :

“Arkansas State University’s Center for Social Research recently surveyed 415 registered voters across the state. … The survey focused on four universities University of Central Arkansas, ASU, University of Arkansas-Fayetteville and University of Arkansas-Little Rock.

“Across the board, the university that garnered the best results was ÿÈÕ´óÈüÍøÕ¾. From familiarity with the school to its academic performance to its marketing, ÿÈÕ´óÈüÍøÕ¾ scored higher than the other schools, markedly in some areas.

“That is truly a testament to the hard work put in over the years by many dedicated faculty, staff and administrators.

“Among the findings:

“Nearly 37 percent of respondents gave ÿÈÕ´óÈüÍøÕ¾ an ‘A’ grade as an academic institution. About 35 percent gave UA-Fayetteville the same grade. The number falls significantly to ASU (26 percent) and UALR (20 percent). Combining ‘A’ and ‘B’ responses, ÿÈÕ´óÈüÍøÕ¾ earned 80 percent of responses, about the same as UA-Fayetteville and ASU but significantly ahead of UALR.

“About a third of respondents correctly identified ÿÈÕ´óÈüÍøÕ¾’s ‘Center of Learning’ motto. One in four knew UA-Fayetteville’s research university slogan, and only about one in 10 recognized ASU’s ‘Powering Minds’ or UALR’s ‘Where Excellence Has Many Faces’ mantra. …

“These survey results [seem] to bolster ÿÈÕ´óÈüÍøÕ¾’s credibility as a school where students (and their parents) get value for their dollars.”
