The University of Arkansas known also as the U of A or UA, is a public co-educational land-grant university. It is the main (or "flagship") campus of the University of Arkansas System and is located in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Founded as Arkansas Industrial University in 1870, its present name was adopted in 1899. It is noted for its strong architecture, agriculture (particularly poultry science), creative writing and business programs.. It is also noted for the fact that students from its engineering program won the 2006 national solar-powered boat championships.
The University of Arkansas strives to be known as a "nationally competitive, student-centered research university serving Arkansas and the world." The school recently completed their "Campaign for the 21st Century," which they raised over $1 billion for the school, included the creation of a new Honors College, and added money to their endowment. Among these gifts were the largest donation given to a business school at the time ($50 million), and the largest gift given to a public university in America ($300 million), both given by the Walton Family Charitable Foundation.
