Northwest Technical Institute in Springdale and North Arkansas College in Harrison have signed an agreement to provide for a smoother transition for students to continue their education, according to a news release from the institutions.
Under the agreement, Northwest Technical Institute students now have the ability to receive credit for some business and computer classes taken at the institute when they transfer into two degree programs at North Arkansas College. The programs lead to an associate of applied science degree in either business administration or information technology, with an emphasis on network and systems administration, according to the schools.
Northwest Technical Institute students wanting to participate must have a 2.0 cumulative grade-point average and must have completed some required courses. The agreement is intended to increase graduation rates, according to the schools.
More information about the degree programs is available through North Arkansas College's admissions office at 870- 391-3505 or Northwest Technical Institute at 479-751-8824.
