What is the University School Program?
It is a partnership between UALR and Hall High School.  Under this program, the University and Hall High agree to help students accelerate their progress toward a college degree. Students who select this option can take transferable college courses while still in high school.  Students may also enroll in courses on the UALR campus.

How do students benefit?
Early Planning.  This program encourages early planning for college attendance.  Colleges have found that the earlier students plan for college the more likely they are to earn a college degree.  Preparation for college involves careful selection of courses no later than ninth grade.  This program involves students, high school counselors and teachers, and parents in the selection of courses from the beginning of the high school career.
Rigorous Studies.  Besides early planning, this program encourages students to pursue a rigorous course of study in high school.  The best preparation for college is a high school program of study designed for college bound students.

What will the costs be for the college courses?
All students will receive free tuition and free textbooks.

How does a student participate in the program?
Hall juniors and seniors who seek admission to the University School must meet the entrance requirements of UALR:  A minimum overall high school GPA of 3.0 AND a minimum of 19 ACT score.
