Higher Learning Commission Approves Black River Technical College’s Additional Locations

HLC Review Team on AMMC Campus

POCAHONTAS, AR Jan. 21—After a recent on-site visit by a Higher Learning Commission review team, President Martin Eggenspreger and Black River Technical College were notified that the college’s additional instructional locations have been approved. HLC requires an on-site evaluation of active additional locations in order for the college to offer classes there.

BRTC’s Fire Science Training Academy site, located in Walnut Ridge, and the Registered Nursing Program Paragould site, housed on the Arkansas Methodist Medical Center campus, were visited by the review team in September and then approved by HLC in December.

The report sent to Dr. Eggenspreger stated that “no further monitoring is required” and was very complimentary of both facilities.
