If you are reading this catalog and handbook, you are obviously interested in college. If you are interested in learning new skills, upgrading your current skills, or preparing to transfer to a four- year institution, you have come to the right place.
Cossatot Community College of the University of Arkansas is growing in facilities, programs, staff, and student enrollment. But more important, it has a constantly-changing vision of what a college should be in the 21st Century.
At CCCUA, we pride ourselves on having a very friendly, supportive student atmosphere, and rigorous instructional programs. We try very hard to create many avenues of access to higher education for the benefit of the citizens of Southwest Arkansas, because not everyone can take the same path to a degree or certificate.
For example, we have a very vigorous Internet program of courses and degrees, a substantial Interactive Television instructional program, and skills programs and degrees that are directly aligned to the workforce needs of Arkansas and the nation. We have courses and programs to offer students who need short term “in and out” training to upgrade their skills or to get a better job.
Because preparing you for the job market is what we are ultimately here for, Cossatot Community College has partnered with several universities to make it possible to not only get an associate degree through CCCUA, but a Bachelor’s and even a Master’s degree at De Queen, Nashville, or Ashdown.
As a prospective or continuing student, you will find many answers to your life goal questions at CCCUA. You will also find a friendly, caring staff who will take time to answer questions and help you get the most out of college. You will find we are not rigidly formal – our doors are always open, and every employee knows that students come first, provided they ask for help - we can’t anticipate everything you might need. You can count on a group of professionals who desire to help you achieve your goals. You will work for every grade, but they will also help you. The staff has high expectations of you, but they will guide you to reach your fullest potential. What must you do? Ask for our help. You will find we willingly give it.
As you turn or scroll through the pages of this book, you will begin to see many opportunities available to you. Welcome to Cossatot. We are glad you are considering us.
