As Chancellor , I would like to personally take this time to welcome you to the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff . We are excited to be a part of this U.S. Department of Agriculture - Rural Business and Cooperative Development Services Telecommunication Project. Through this project, we will further fulfill our 1890 mission of education, research, and public service.

The University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff (UAPB) is a land grant, residential institution founded in 1873 as Branch Normal College. Its doors were first opened to students on September 27, 1875. UAPB is the second oldest public institution in Arkansas and the oldest institution with a black heritage. Since 1873, the institution has grown and changed its official name on two occasions--1927 - Arkansas Agricultural, Mechanical and Normal College (Arkansas AM&N) and 1972 - University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff. UAPB's first degree was awarded in 1882. It is the fourth oldest institution in the nation designated in 1890 under the Second Morrill Act. UAPB is one of two land grant institutions and the only 1890 institution in Arkansas. You are cordially

invited to take a virtual tour of our campus.

UAPB joins with South Carolina State University, Southern University, Alcorn University, Fort Berthold, Prairie View A&M University and Fort Valley in this momentous endeavor of providing information and assistance through the Internet.
