NPC Faculty Mentor: Julian Post (Julian.Post@np.edu) 501.760.4215

This curriculum is designed for persons who plan to obtain an Associate of Science in STEM (AS-STEM) at National Park College (NPC) and transfer to the University of Arkansas (UA) to complete a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering degree. Students should be aware that prerequisite courses and/or developmental courses may need to be taken in addition to this suggested plan of study.

Additional UA admission requirements for this program:

The student must complete the requirements necessary for general admission to UA
The student will have earned the Associate of Science in STEM at NPC with a minimum 2.00 cumulative grade point average in general education courses.
All courses in the AS in STEM completed with a grade of ‘C’ or higher and required for the degree will be applied to the bachelor’s degree.
Degree program admission requirements will be determined in the same manner as if their initial enrollment had been at UA.
