University of Arkansas Grantham

Yes, Grantham University still exists. However, in 2021, it joined the University of Arkansas system to become UA Grantham. It's now a stronger university offering greater access to higher education to the thousands of students it serves.

UA Grantham is 100% online with certificate, undergraduate, and graduate programs. Examples of online bachelor's degrees include computer engineering technology, financial planning, information systems, and multidisciplinary studies. Overall, the curricula at UA Grantham is robust and comparable to on-campus programs at other colleges and universities. 

Distance learners can participate in class as their schedule allows, with no set class times. Eight-week classes start monthly, so you can start whenever you are ready and potentially finish faster than students in traditional semester programs. 

Employers respect UA Grantham's online degrees because an accredited institution confers them. Accreditation is important because it means a school routinely goes through an intensive review process that evaluates its financial practices and the quality of its academic programming. If accreditation is conferred, it means the school keeps its promises to students and they can transfer credits from one institution to another.

OnlineU only includes accredited online institutions on its site.

UA Grantham is an accredited member of the Distance Education Accrediting Commission (DEAC). The DEAC is listed by the U.S. Department of Education as a nationally recognized accrediting agency, and it's a recognized member of the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA). CHEA is a nonprofit organization serving as a national advocate for self-regulation of academic quality through accreditation. All of UA Grantham's programs have been reviewed and approved by DEAC.

UA Grantham has been known for its focus on the unique needs of adult learners for over 70 years. When it joined the University of Arkansas system in 2021, it became part of a highly-reputable state system that serves over 70,000 students and is known for its medical education and research, law schools, presidential school, and residential math and science high school. 

UA Grantham is also known for its generosity and its efforts to increase accessibility to higher education. It shows gratitude for the work of our nation's first responders, active duty service members, veterans, and military families by providing generous transfer credit opportunities and reduced tuition. 

It's not difficult to get into UA Grantham. It doesn't require entrance exams for admission. You also can apply to start whenever you want because UA Grantham enrolls students monthly. Monthly enrollment can make it easier to begin when you're ready, and your schedule allows instead of waiting for the start of an academic year. 

UA Grantham's admission requirements for its first-year students are relatively minimal compared to other institutes of higher learning and generally include the following:

• A completed free online application
• A copy of a high school diploma or transcripts, GED certificate, or state certificate
• Official college transcripts if transferring credits
• Military transcripts, if applicable

However, enrollment in an online bachelor's of business administration in financial planning, a certificate in advanced cybersecurity, and a bachelor's in health information management are degrees that have additional requirements. An admissions advisor can help identify what's needed. 

Applying to college always requires some planning to ensure you have enough time to get what you need and get help if needed.
