UACCM, in cooperation with UAMS, offers general education courses that may be used to meet the general education requirements of specific courses at UAMS. The completion of the general education courses at UACCM does not guarantee acceptance to UAMS in the health care major. Students should contact UAMS for more admission requirements.
After UACCM
Students can reduce transition and transfer problems by making early contact with the college that is their transfer target. The more communication a student has with the target institution, the smoother the transfer will be.
Hint
  • Students should take all developmental courses early in order to focus on degree-required classes in later semesters.
  • Take classes when offered as some classes are only offered certain semesters.
