International Programs at NorthWest Arkansas Community College

NWACC proudly welcomes students from around the world to pursue affordable, high-quality degrees with the option to transfer credits to top four-year universities in the U.S. Our international students bring invaluable global perspectives, traditions, and languages that deeply enrich our classrooms, campus life, and the wider Northwest Arkansas community. Their presence fosters cross-cultural understanding, promotes inclusion, and helps prepare all students for a more interconnected world. With small class sizes, international students can build meaningful relationships with American instructors and peers, while engaging in student clubs and cultural events that create a strong sense of belonging.

In addition to hosting international students, NWACC offers life-changing study abroad experiences. These programs are more than just travel—they’re transformative cultural and educational journeys. Students gain global perspectives, language skills, and international experience, all at a fraction of the cost typically found at four-year schools.

Whether coming to the U.S. to study or going abroad to learn, NWACC helps students see the world—and themselves—in a whole new way.
