Section 10 Administrative Overview
10.1 Background
South Arkansas College (SouthArk) is an open-enrollment public, two-year college located in downtown
El Dorado, Arkansas, and accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC).
SouthArk was established by a vote of the citizens of Union County on March 31, 1992. Voters approved
forming a community college district for the county, merging Oil Belt Technical College and Southern
Arkansas College-El Dorado Branch, to form a comprehensive community college. The college’s
designated service area includes not only Union County but also Bradley, Ashley, and Chicot Counties.
The College promotes accessibility through low tuition, scholarships, financial aid, concurrent
enrollment, adult education, developmental courses, and a wide range of student services designed to
promote success. The College is an integral part of community life in El Dorado through its educational
programs, cultural events, programs for business and industry, partnerships with K-12 and higher
education institutions, and promotion of area economic development.
SouthArk offers associate degrees and certificates in the areas of career and technical education, arts and
sciences, and health science. For students who are planning to transfer to a four-year college, SouthArk
offers the associate of arts degree. SouthArk’s workforce programs are designed with industry-driven
curriculum and specialized accreditation. Articulation agreements with area universities also allow for
seamless credit transfer.
SouthArk’s west campus is home to programs for general education, business and technology, and health
care. At the heart of the main campus is Heritage Plaza, a green space for students to meet and relax
between classes. Across the street, the El Dorado Conference Center, managed by the college, is also the
home of the SouthArk’s Student Center where students’ enrollment, registration, and support needs are
met.
SouthArk’s east campus offers career technical programs for high school and post-secondary students.
Non-credit classes at this site meet the workforce needs of local employers and the interests of the
community. SouthArk also has approved educational sites in Warren and Little Rock. Beyond the
traditional classroom, SouthArk has an extensive online course and program presence whereby a student
can earn an associate of arts completely online. Many other degree and certificate programs can be
completed primarily or entirely through online courses.
With the combination of quality faculty, staff, innovative teaching, and first-rate facilities, SouthArk
continues to make excellent education and workforce training available and affordable for the people of
south Arkansas.
College Mission

educational opportunities; and serves as a cultural, intellectual, and economic resource for the community.
