National Park College and the University of Arkansas at Monticello have partnered to bring bachelor’s degrees to Hot Springs.

The partnership currently includes a Bachelor of Business Administration degree and a Bachelor of Arts in K-6 elementary education degree. Beginning July 2025, a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree will also be offered.

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

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