Our Mission

The mission of the Center for Regional Programs is to extend the resources of Arkansas State University-Jonesboro to meet educational needs and to provide public service for the citizens.  The Center for Regional Programs works closely with the colleges of the university, businesses and communities in Arkansas so the resources and programs of Arkansas State University-Jonesboro are responsive to the needs of the region and the state.  To accomplish this mission, the center provides off-campus credit programs and courses, independent study credit courses, and services to industry, public schools, and Arkansas two-year colleges.

At the Center for Regional Programs, we believe that learning is a lifetime experience.  Our courses and programs encompass a wide range of interests for people of all ages including credit courses for degree seeking students and adults pursuing professional development opportunities, concurrent credit classes for high school students,  summer camps for children, and community education classes for people of all ages!
