Genuine education. Genuine opportunity.

What does genuine mean? It means honest. It means straightforward. It means true. That's our promise to you: a relevant, rewarding education, a caring, down-to-earth faculty and staff, and a learning environment that feels like home.

Our programs — which include top-notch offerings in biology, business, education, health care, history, and the applied sciences — have been developed in partnership with industry and government leaders, ensuring your degree will have genuine value. You'll graduate with the knowledge and skills you need to make it today and grow into new opportunities tomorrow.

Our professors teach all of their own classes — you'll never see a teaching assistant at Fort Smith — and they'll take a genuine interest in your needs and interests. They know you're studying to achieve a personal or professional goal, and they'll make your goals their own.

Our campus is the pride of Fort Smith and arguably the freshest and most well-equipped in the nation. Designed with students in mind, it has all the resources it takes to make your educational experience successful. The campus is also a genuine community resource — research tools of the Boreham Library and the performances at the Stubblefield Center are open to the public.
