Transfer or Stackable Options

Northark has agreements with Arkansas Tech University, Arkansas State University in Mountain Home and the University of Central Arkansas to offer students seamless options for transfer to junior/senior level courses required to ultimately obtain a bachelor’s degree in teaching. Since these institutions have variations in required courses, students should work closely with a Northark advisor in order to complete specific courses needed for a smooth transition to the junior level at any of these colleges.
