Welcome to Southern Arkansas University Tech’s information pages for international students.

Southern Arkansas University Tech was founded in 1968 and is part of the Southern Arkansas University System. SAU Tech is accredited by The Higher Learning Commission and authorized under Federal Law to enroll non-immigrant students. International students pay out-of-state rates and any additional fees that apply making attending SAU Tech very affordable.
