Shorter College

Shorter College is a private, faith-based, two-year liberal-arts college located in North Little Rock, Arkansas. Founded in 1886, by the African Methodist Episcopal Church, Shorter College is one of the nation's 110 Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and the only two-year HBCU in the state of Arkansas. With a Spring 2013 enrollment of 236 students, Shorter College is the fastest-growing campus in Central Arkansas. Shorter College’s open enrollment policy makes obtaining an associate’s level degree possible for any person having earned a high school diploma or GED completion from an accredited agency. Small, intimate classroom settings and an outstanding faculty create an enjoyable and supportive atmosphere for learning that empowers students to excel toward the pursuit of academic excellence. Shorter College, since it was founded in 1886, has been instrumental in providing strong academic training, as well as character development for countless young men and women throughout the United States. Shorter College’s unapologetic Christian values has been one of the essential traits which has made Shorter a unique and valued institution for many years. I and the members of the Board of Trustees are excited about the direction and future of Shorter. It is our intent to make sure that each student attending Shorter is provided the best environment available to succeed in their quest for academic development. Your success is our success, and we are interested in being a part of your success today.
