A genuine college experience.

We think participation in organizations, sports and other campus activities and organizations are so important, we even give out awards for it. Why? Studies show that students who participate in extra-curricular activities—even students who attend part time and have to juggle work and family commitments—get better grades and are more likely to graduate on time.

There are over 50 organizations on campus, everything from Drama Club and Applause Magazine to the College Republicans and the Baptist Collegiate Ministry, as well as Campus Activities Board and numerous honor societies.

The UA Fort Smith Lions compete and win in baseball, women’s volleyball, and men’s and women’s basketball. Golf and tennis are new featured sports in 2005. The campus fitness center offers the latest exercise equipment as well as health and exercise classes.
