Community Colleges in Arkansas

Arkansas Community College Majors
One of the unique aspects of a community college is guaranteed admissions. Unlike a state school or private school in Arkansas, a community college will accept any qualifying applicant. This feature provides students the opportunity to study and learn about new areas within academia while building an educational portfolio for the future. Programs offered at a community college may be a direct entry degree program or academic program. A direct-entry degree or certificate program is designed to help students learn the essentials of a trade and launch a career in that field after graduation or completion. An academic program will often lead to an Associate of Arts (AA) or Associate of Science (AS) degree that can be transferrable to a 4-year school to earn a bachelor’s degree.The following links may provide helpful information about community colleges in Arkansas:
