2026	20,691	7,096	34.3%

What to Expect for the Class of 2030

Over the three most recent official classes (2025–2028) the acceptance rate at University of Arkansas has sat between 74.3%–82.7%.

That band is what the school has actually done recently, not a prediction. A single cycle can break it: a change to testing policy, a new direct-admission program, or a jump in application volume moves the rate more than any trend would.
