Arkansas Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (ARK-LSAMP)
ARK-LSAMP has helped to prepare its students for campus leadership positions, and has provided rich research internship experiences for the student. Among the eight ARL-LSAMP programs, there were 80 internships provided with five being international. Many of these sites were cultivated through the Guest Lecturer Series which has manifold purposes: role modeling of STEM professionals, first hand contact by university, industry and governmental agency representatives with STEM students; and introduction of students to diverse research models.
Students studying the field of biology are prepared for careers in research, health sciences, and related fields.

- Must have a composite ACT score of 19 or above
