North Arkansas College is now an approved Course Choice Provider for Arkansas high-school students for AY 2026-27
Through the passage of the LEARNS Act, students in grades 6-12 across Arkansas have expanded access to courses beyond what their resident school may offer. As an approved provider, Northark offers eligible students the opportunity to enroll in select college-level courses via the state’s Course Choice program. Current approved high school-level courses include Quantitative Reasoning, General Psychology, and American National Government.
This means that if a high-school student’s school does not offer one of these courses, they now have the option to choose Northark as their provider, opening a pathway to earn college-level credit while still enrolled in high school. We will continue exploring additional offerings (for example: English Comp I &II, College Algebra) as demand arises.
We welcome inquiries from families, high-school counselors, and district administrators. Let NAC help expand student learning options, advance academic readiness, and provide meaningful college credit opportunities.
