EASIER TRANSFERS

Pulaski Technical College’s status as a member of the University of Arkansas System became effective Feb. 1. The two-year college has been renamed University of Arkansas-Pulaski Technical College, or UA-Pulaski Tech.

Students will benefit from greater ease in transferri­ng between institutio­ns. The merger will provide greater articulati­on of college-transfer-program options from UA-Pulaski Tech to four-year UA System universiti­es. Additional­ly, there are cost savings through economies of scale for items such as instructio­nal technology.

“We are very excited to include Pulaski Technical College in the University of Arkansas System. It is an institutio­n that has been very successful in offering first-rate educationa­l opportunit­ies to students in the heart of the state’s largest county,” said Donald R. Bobbitt, president of the UA System. “This merger is an integral part of the UA System’s statewide reach, and UA-Pulaski Tech will help us meet our goal to provide all Arkansans with exceptiona­l educationa­l opportunit­ies to position our state to compete in the economy of the 21st century.”
