ABOUT CCCUA

Cossatot Community College of the University of Arkansas is a two-year college nestled in the foothills of the Ouachita Mountains of southwest Arkansas. As one of the fastest-growing small colleges in the United States, CCCUA has expanded from the main campus in De Queen to add extension sites in Nashville and Ashdown. We’re also one of the newest members of the University of Arkansas System. Classes are also offered through a number of area high schools, and on-site in spaces provided by business and industry. Since 1975, we’ve been helping people learn more, so they can live better. You have choices in education, so class schedules at CCCUA are prepared with the specific goal of meeting your needs. On-campus classes are generally conducted Monday through Thursday between 8:00am and 9:00pm. Classes are also offered on weekends, via the Internet, and through satellite transmissions.

A caring, qualified faculty is available for consultation and advice after class. In addition, our Student Services staff regularly goes the extra mile to assist students with scheduling, financial aid, counseling, and other services.

The Kimball Library on the De Queen campus is a pleasant place for studying, doing research, or reading for pleasure. The upper story of this building houses our new Donn Allison Technology Center, with five computer labs, an interactive video classroom, Bookstore, and other features.

CCCUA offers a multitude of ways to help you shape your future. If you plan to enter a vocation that requires an Associate of Applied Science Degree or a Technical Certificate, we can help. You might need an Associate of Arts Degree or Associate of General Studies Degree so you can transfer to a four-year school. A Certificate of Proficiency in a short-term program will help you get into the job market quickly. Or you might just need a refresher or skills update in one of our seminars or workshops. All of these are available at Cossatot Community College of the University of Arkansas. In addition, we offer a number of short-term courses, both credit and non-credit, throughout the year. These courses meet personal, career, business and industry needs, and are designed to deal with a variety of topics. Serving you is the primary goal of the College faculty and staff.

Education opens doors to a brighter future and a bigger income, but your determination and ambition are the keys that will enable you to get there. We have the elements you need to prepare for your future. It’s your future – we want to help you get there.
