North Arkansas College and the University of Arkansas at Monticello have partnered to bring bachelor’s degrees to Boone, Carroll, Marion, Searcy, Newton and Madison counties in northern Arkansas.

The partnership will feature a Bachelor of Arts in K-6 elementary education degree beginning May 2026 and a Bachelor of Business Administration degree beginning August 2026.

All four years of the bachelor's degrees are offered on the North Arkansas College campus. Students earn an associate degree from NAC and a bachelor's degree from UAM during the program.

UAM offers eligible NAC students the Pioneer Transfer Scholarship, worth $3,000 per semester, to offset tuition costs, making the UAM degree offered at NAC one of the most affordable bachelor’s degrees in the state.
