New significantly reduced tuition costs available beginning Summer 2021!

Complete your undergraduate degree in education (Birth to Kindergarten Special Education Integrated, K-6 Elementary, or 4-8 Middle Level) through Harding University’s College of Education from anywhere in the state of Arkansas with our online program. In order to cater to all lifestyles and career placements, classes are set up in 8-week cycles with some synchronous classes offered in the evenings. Upon admission and through our seamless transfer process, we create individualized degree plans for each student. Financial aid is also available.

These programs provide an intensive and accelerated study allowing for completion of a degree in a shorter time period than a traditional track. Students who have completed an associate degree can enroll in the 2+2 program. Students who have not completed an associate degree must complete all required coursework and a minimum of 60 hours of college credit to enroll. 

Our education programs are all recognized by the Arkansas Department of Education and our graduates who complete all requirements are eligible to receive a license from the state of Arkansas. This license will be recognized per reciprocal agreements with many of the other states. We have been accredited by CAEP in the past, and are now exploring AAQEP (Association for Advancing Quality in Educator Preparation), another national accrediting agency.
