Crowley's Ridge College

Crowley's Ridge College emphasizes academic scholarship, spiritual enrichment, and service learning. Students can select from one associate degree and 10 bachelor's degrees in areas such as biblical studies, elementary education, and accounting. Most programs offer minors or several electives that allow students to personalize their degree. Many on-campus courses use digital tools to enhance degree-seekers' educational experience. Athletics make up a significant part of student life at CRC. This Arkansas college hosts six men's and four women's intramural teams, and CRC holds membership in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics. Finally, all learners attend religious services once per week and take a Bible course each semester. CRC accepts new degree-seekers in the spring, summer, and fall semesters. Applicants must have either a high school diploma or GED certificate. Incoming learners who earned at least a 30 on the ACT qualify for a $10,500 scholarship. This scholarship renews each year as long as recipients maintain a minimum 3.0 undergraduate GPA.
