BELLA VISTA (Tuesday, Aug, 12, 2008) - C ollege at the Crossing (CATC), the NorthWest Arkansas Community College facility in Bella Vista, will offer a full slate of credit and non-credit classes for the fall semester beginning August 25.

CATC also will continue to offer general education credit classes. Students are encouraged to enroll early as seating in many classes is limited.
