Harding and UAMS publish complete program tuition, but the linked budgets cover different cohorts. UAMS separates Arkansas resident and nonresident tuition; Harding provides a fixed cohort tuition schedule. Compare the same entering year and add fees, housing and clinical travel before deciding which is least expensive for you.

The current ARC-PA roster lists two sponsoring programs: Harding and the University of Arkansas program at UAMS.
The current roster lists Harding with Accreditation-Continued. Older directories may show a previous status; check ARC-PA again before applying.
Accreditation and state placement use the current ARC-PA roster, with program sites for campus details. Each cost card links to its university source. “Verified” means the displayed amount and scope were located in an official source on the review date; it does not mean the rate applies to every future entering class.
Tuition-only and tuition-plus-fees totals stay separate. Annual and per-term figures are not treated as full-program totals. Calculated estimates are labelled and excluded from full-program sorts. “Not verified” means a reliable comparable amount was not established, not that a program is free.
Continued, Provisional and Probation are accreditation statuses; applicant programs are not yet accredited. “F” identifies a focused visit. Program-specific cost and accreditation details here reflect this state review; the national directory and paid comparison dataset retain their separately dated snapshots.
