North Arkansas College is a signature away from officially merging with the University of Arkansas, creating what will now be known as UofA North Ark, according to Jamie Stevens of the college.
The collaboration allows North Arkansas College students who earn an associate degree to transfer to UofA Fayetteville and qualify for a transfer scholarship. Stevens noted that students who meet the university’s requirements can maintain North Arkansas tuition rates after transferring.
“We've done some basic math, and for most people, it's going to save them about $20,000 on their UofA tuition,” Stevens said. He encouraged students to review the UofA transfer scholarship details.
Stevens also discussed spring registration during the broadcast. Those seeking additional information about the merger and transfer opportunities can text 870-621-2941. The full interview with Stevens is on the "Around The Table" Facebook page.
