UAM is expanding its campus-within-a-campus model so students can finish a UAM bachelor’s degree on their local community college campus. The network now includes nine partners after rapid 2025–26 growth (National Park College launched the model in 2023).
Degree options include elementary education K–6, general business, interdisciplinary studies, computer information systems and nursing. Eligible students receive a $3,000-per-semester UAM scholarship. More than 90 students have enrolled, with nearly 45 graduates earning both associate and bachelor’s credentials. Chancellor Dr. Peggy Doss calls the model a workforce and rural-access investment for Arkansas.
