By Brandon Swenson

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. May 28, 2025 – University of Arkansas Grantham and University of Arkansas Cossatot today announced a new partnership that provides UA Cossatot graduates a pathway to earning their bachelor’s degree 100% online through UA Grantham.

Under the new agreement, UA Cossatot students who have earned specific associate degrees can easily transfer credits into select UA Grantham programs. This gives Cossatot graduates a direct path to earning their bachelor’s while keeping work and family commitments.

“UA Grantham strives to serve adult learners with programs that support students wherever they are in life,” said Lindsay Bridgeman, Chancellor of UA Grantham. “Our new collaboration with UA Cossatot will help more students in Arkansas take that next step in their education journey, without having to jump through hoops, start over, or put their lives on hold.”

Dr. Ashley Aylett, Vice Chancellor for Academics at UA Cossatot, added: “We’re excited to expand opportunities for our graduates by connecting them with programs offered by UA Grantham.  Our teams worked together to create a clear pathway for our graduates; this will empower them to continue their education without barriers, especially those who need the flexibility that fully online programs offer.”

UA Cossatot graduates that have earned any Associate of Arts degree, an AS in Business, an AAS in General Business, or an AS in Agricultural Business can enroll into the UA Grantham Bachelor of Business Administration program. Similarly, graduates that have earned an AS in Criminal Justice or Psychology can enroll in Grantham’s BA in Criminal Justice, and graduates of UA Cossatot’ s AS in STEM can enroll in Grantham's BS in Informations Systems. Graduates of UA Cossatot’ s STEM Computer Science / Cybersecurity programs can enroll in Grantham’s BS in Computer Science.

UA Grantham programs are designed with the adult learner in mind, featuring eight-week courses and the support of dedicated Student Advisors. In addition, every UA Grantham degree student receives a new Lenovo laptop at no cost after classes begin, a commitment that has led to the shipment of more than 10,000 laptops to date.

With 11 bachelor’s programs available and full online delivery, students from all academic backgrounds are encouraged to explore UA Grantham’s offerings and discover how they can earn a bachelor’s degree. For more information visit https://www.uagrantham.edu/rmi/university-of-arkansas-cossatot/
