State Minimum Core Curriculum
Core and general education courses taken at another publicly supported Arkansas institution may be able to transfer.
As a public, state institution, UA Little Rock participates in the State Minimum Core Curriculum. Students transferring to UA Little Rock from another publicly supported Arkansas college or university should check with their advisor and the Arkansas Course Transfer System to ensure proper transfer of core or general education courses. The Arkansas Course Transfer System (ACTS) contains information about the transferability of courses within Arkansas public colleges and universities. Students are guaranteed the transfer of applicable credits and equitable treatment in the application of credits for admissions and degree requirements. Students may complete specified General Education courses anywhere in the public system as well as many courses in the degree/major that have been pre-identified for transfer.
To determine how your courses may transfer, please refer to the UA Little Rock Transfer Equivalency Guide.
You may also contact our Office of Transfer Student Services for additional information about how your courses may transfer or if you have other related concerns.
