A Friendly Word from Your State Representative:
College should be hard, but going to college should be easy. That's the motto of eVersity, the newest member of the University of Arkansas system which was established during the Regular Session with Act 306. Over 100 Arkansans have already signed up to go back to college since it began accepting applications a little over a week ago. At $165/credit hour, the tuition price is the full price. There are no additional fees or required text books. And you pay as you go, so you don't have to worry about a large, upfront cost.
Students focus on one course every six weeks. With seven start dates per year, back to school can happen in any season. It is designed to find a way to fit college into a busy schedule. The program is targeted to those who have some college but did not complete their degree. Right now the average age of the applicant is 37 years old.
To make enrollment easier, staff with eVersity can do the work for you when it comes to finding your old transcript. In the application process you are asked if you wish to give staff permission to get your transcript.
Course work includes competencies such as problem solving and leadership skills to help graduates develop skills attractive to businesses. For example if you graduate with a degree, your transcript will not only show your major but may show that you had 15 hours of course work that concentrated heavily on creativity.The mission of eVersity is to provide and accessible and affordable online education relevant to the modern workplace.
We look forward to hearing the progress of students who are taking advantage of this opportunity. For more information go to www.eversity.uasys.edu.
