Cossatot Community College of the University of Arkansas (UA Cossatot) and the University of Arkansas at Monticello (UAM) are set to announce a new partnership that will expand access to affordable higher education in Arkansas. On Wednesday, July 8, the two institutions will unveil a program allowing UA Cossatot students to earn a bachelor’s degree in southwest Arkansas at one of the state’s lowest tuition rates.

The strategic partnership between UA Cossatot and UAM will integrate business programs, enabling UA Cossatot students to pursue a Bachelor of Business Administration degree. The degree program is currently pending approval from the Arkansas Higher Education Coordinating Board and the Higher Learning Commission.

The partnership aims to leverage the strengths of both institutions and combine resources to support student success and improve college completion rates within the region.

University of Arkansas at Monticello saw outfielder Camden Tanner named an Academic All-American.

The Boll Weevil slugger, who earned third-team recognition from College Sports Communicators, maintained a 3.62 GPA while pursuing his degree in criminal justice. On the diamond, Tanner slashed .451/.811/.524 with 15 doubles, one triple, 14 home runs, and 54 RBI in 39 games this season before his campaign was cut short due to injury.

Tanner receives the award on top of three All-American nods, including a third-team selection from NCBWA, a second-team from D2CCA, and a third-team from D2 Baseball.
