The College
Founded by voters in the Bentonville and Rogers Public School Districts on August 15, 1989, NWACC began as "the college without walls" and NWACC has been one of the fastest growing higher education institutions in the state. It thrives today as a college that truly cares about the students, faculty, and staff and the community we serve. Our credit enrollment is over 11,000 students per year with another 5,000 students taking non-credit or personal enrichment courses.
