UAHT now offers two bachelor’s degrees (K-6 elementary education and general business) from our campuses through a partnership with the University of Arkansas at Monticello. This summer, UAHT will offer an online Child Development Associate (CDA) program, providing students interested in early childhood education with an opportunity to complete the required coursework for the nationally recognized credential.

The College has one of the most affordable tuition and fees in the State of Arkansas and offers border county residents (Bowie, Cass, Red River, Marion, Morris, and Titus counties in Texas; McCurtain County in Oklahoma; Caddo, Bossier, Claiborne, and Webster parishes in Louisiana) the same affordable in-state tuition rate. UAHT also offers the new Iron Horse Advantage scholarship that covers tuition, academic fees, and textbook rental costs for eligible students during their first year of college.
