NWACC offers three types of certification: Certificates of Proficiency, Associate of Applied Science, and Associate degrees. If you intend to transfer to a university to earn a bachelor degree, then you should work towards an Associate degree. An Associate of Applied Science degree involves two academic years of career specific training in a high-demand, high-wage field which leads directly to the workforce.
Certificates of proficiency are short programs of study designed to provide training or supplement a bachelor degree with additional training.
6) Where can I go from NWACC? Back
NorthWest Arkansas Community College is fully accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges. Credits are therefore accepted by most colleges and universities in the United States. Even though transfer courses at NWACC are accepted at most colleges and universities, you should consult with an NWACC advisor to ensure the courses you take are applicable to the degree you are seeking. Please be advised that it is also ultimately your responsibility to check with the institution where credits are being transferred.
NWACC has transfer plans available for specific degrees at area institutions, such as Business or Psychology at the University of Arkansas or Criminal Justice at Missouri State Southern University. Transfer plans detail exactly which courses to take that will transfer towards an intended degree.
