Out-of-State Applicants: No Need to Fear!

As a public institution, we are committed to serving the citizens of Arkansas. They make our existence possible and, thus, are the reasons why we exist. Our commitment, however, does not come at any significant expense to non-residents. We truly seek to enroll the best classes possible, filled with qualified students who have specific interests in Bowen.

Non-residents bring a diversity of experience that adds to the classroom discourse. Thus, we welcome and encourage applications from "out-of-staters." Many of our students (and alums) hail from other states, far and near, and are doing very well. So if you are a non-Arkansas resident who is concerned about being disadvantaged in the admissions process, don’t be. You will be assessed in the same manner as resident applicants. (The “Why Bowen?” burden may be a bit higher for you; so be sure to answer that question in your personal statement).

And don't forget about our Non-Resident Scholarship!
