Sample of 12 campuses from the plot (sorted by enrollment). Source: U.S. Department of Education OPE Campus Safety Survey + IPEDS enrollment. Rate = on-campus Criminal Offenses and VAWA incidents per 1,000 students; lower is safer-reporting, not a personal-risk forecast.
What changed between 2023 and 2024
Reported on-campus incidents at University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff rose from 2 to 22 (+1000%). The increase shows up in Aggravated Assault (1 to 17), Burglary (1 to 4) and Fondling (0 to 1).
This describes reported incidents, not crime. Clery counts move with reporting policy, awareness campaigns and how a campus staffs its security authorities, so a rise can reflect better capture of reports and a fall can reflect worse capture. One year of movement at a single campus is not a trend.
What actually gets reported at University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 6 Clery Act categories here: Aggravated Assault, Burglary, Fondling, Motor Vehicle Theft, Rape and Murder / Non-Negligent Manslaughter. Aggravated Assault accounts for most of them.
The remaining 5 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Arson, Incest, Negligent Manslaughter and Robbery. Under the Clery Act that zero is an affirmative report that nothing in the category occurred, not an absence of data, which is why the table below lists those rows rather than dropping them.
Counts describe incidents reported under the Clery Act for the on-campus geography. Reporting practice varies between institutions, so counts are not a direct measure of relative safety.

Cost context
Where University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff sits on price and outcomes
At $12,653, University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff's reported average net price is cheaper than 42% among 69 Arkansas colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $14,060.

- $5,538
- reported income-bracket spread
Net price moves with income here, but not sharply: $12,302 for families reporting under $30,000 against $17,840 above $110,000, a difference of $5,538. Aid narrows the gap without closing it, so the $12,653 average sits reasonably close to what most brackets report.
Six-year median earnings of $31,161 run about 2.5 times the annual net price. The margin is real but narrow, so how many years of price a student actually pays matters a great deal here.
Average net price reflects grant and scholarship aid for aided students, not a personal offer. Earnings cover former students who received federal aid; neither measure predicts an individual's outcome.
