Retirement

The University of Arkansas Retirement Plan, or “UARP”, is a 403(b)/457(b) defined contribution plan. That means your benefits are based on contributions made to the plan by you and UAMS, plus the growth or interest earnings of those contributions. This is the retirement savings plan for UAMS employees and those at other University of Arkansas campuses. Employees can elect TIAA and/or Fidelity as their investment provider/record-keeper.
