Welcome to the University of Arkansas Hope-Texarkana (UAHT)!

Here at UAHT, our focus is to provide outstanding learning opportunities for our students, so they can build better lives for themselves and their families. For over 60 years, we’ve helped students take the next step—whether preparing for a career, earning a degree, or discovering new interests. With campuses in Hope, Texarkana, and Historic Washington, and flexible online options, UAHT is here for you, wherever you are in life.

We offer more than 50 degrees and certificate programs in high-demand fields, with many that can be completed in under a year, helping you get to work quickly. If your goal is to transfer to a four-year university, our associate degrees are designed to get you there smoothly and affordably.

But we are more than classes and career paths. UAHT is a supportive community that has student success at its core. We have high expectations for our students. We believe in you and what you can achieve. I personally challenge you to do four things as you think and prepare to come to UAHT: Dream, Believe, Dare, and Do.

Dream: Visualize a seemingly impossible future and set ambitious goals.

Believe: Have firm confidence in the dream and in your ability to achieve it.

Dare: Take calculated risks to break through challenges, rather than playing it safe.

Do: Execute the plan through hard work, persistence, and action to make the dream a reality.

Whether you're just starting your college journey, coming back to finish what you started, or exploring a new path entirely, UAHT is your bridge to a brighter future.

Dream, Believe, Dare, and Do,

Dr. Ricky Tompkins
