The University of Arkansas Community College at Morrilton (UACCM) is a two-year, state-supported institution which offers a comprehensive curriculum of university-transfer and career-specific training programs, as well as adult education, workforce education, and community outreach programs. Accredited by The Higher Learning Commission, UACCM serves nearly 2500 credit students per semester. Originally established in 1961, the college is located along Interstate 40 approximately 50 miles west of Little Rock.  The college is committed to excellence in learning and personal enrichment, which has led to an enrollment increase of more than 660 percent since becoming a two-year college in 1991 and a 107 percent increase since merging with the University of Arkansas System in 2001.

UACCM has evolved from a small vocational-technical school offering only occupational-specific diplomas at its inception into a fast-growing, degree-granting college with multiple degree programs and a wide array of plans of study which let students tailor their education to their specific needs. The college also has expanded options available through its partnerships with other colleges within the University of Arkansas System.
