UA-PTC enrollment update shows 7.5% increase for Spring Semester

University of Arkansas Pulaski Technical College saw a 7.5% increase in student headcount for the first eight-week and 16-week Spring Semesters, as compared to Spring 2025. The total student headcount is 4,651.

Additional students will enroll in the second 8-week term until March 18. The total enrollment for the semester will be updated after that term begins.

"The continued rise in our enrollment demonstrates that students see the value in a UA – Pulaski Tech education," said UA-PTC Chancellor Summer DeProw. "We are committed to providing affordable and relevant pathways that facilitate our students’ personal growth and career success."

UA-PTC’s enrollment is 68% female and 32% male, with an average age of 27 and an average course load of nine credit hours.

39% of UA-PTC’s students enroll to earn technical certificates and degrees designed to facilitate direct entry into the workplace in fields such as medical professions and advanced manufacturing. 51% are enrolled in Associate of Arts or Associate of Science curricula designed to satisfy requirements of the first half of a four-year degree. These students may transfer to UA Little Rock, UA Fayetteville, or many other four-year institutions in Arkansas. Specifically, UA-PTC graduates who transfer to UA Fayetteville or UA Little Rock pay the same tuition as UA-PTC, which yields substantial savings for students.

UA - Pulaski Tech’s enrollment includes students attending the college’s Main Campus in North Little Rock, Little Rock-South on Interstate 30, Aerospace Technology Center near the North Little Rock Airport, online classes, and high school students taking concurrent college classes.
