Cossatot Community College of the University of Arkansas (CCCUA) is a public community college serving southwest Arkansas. Its main campus is located in the foothills of the Ouachita Mountains in De Queen, Arkansas.
CCCUA was established in 1975 as a division of the University of Arkansas. Its original purpose was to serve as a location for basic vocational education in southwest Arkansas. It has since been expanded to offer technical certificates in three areas, certificates of proficiency in sixteen areas, and full associates degrees in ten areas.
CCCUA is governed by a nine-member Board of Visitors.
CCCUA currently maintains three campuses, the main campus in De Queen and two extension campuses in nearby Nashville and Ashdown.
The De Queen campus serves as CCCUA's main campus and is divided into eleven separate buildings and areas. These buildings contain approximately 60,000 square feet, and are completely air-conditioned, with the exception of the Trade and Industry shops and the warehouse. Modern equipment, as well as the latest in teaching and audiovisual technology, are available to students. The De Queen campus serves as an associate training center for the Arkansas Fire Academy.
An extension center in Nashville provides office and classroom space for a variety of credit and non-credit classes and special projects. This building has two fully-equipped computer labs.
The Ashdown Extension is CCCUA's newest facility. This 53,640 sq. ft. facility houses numerous programs for CCCUA and the Ashdown community. It has four large lecture classrooms, a computer lab, a Computer Repair/CISCO lab, an Interactive video classroom, an Electrical Apprenticeship classroom, and a Hydraulics/Pneumatics classroom.
CCCUA offers both the Associate of Arts and Associate of Science degrees, which can be credited toward the first two years of a four-year degree program. The degrees consists of certain required courses and certain electives (which must be college transfer classes) in a specific focus area which will constitute the major.
