High school students who take college credit courses complete their degrees faster and save money. It is possible to earn your high school degree and a two-year associate degree from Northark at the same time.
Some courses are even taught at area high schools during school hours.
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.
