Education That Inspires 7

Arkansas State University-Beebe at Heber Springs built the Latimer Center in
2000 at the industrial park on Arkansas 210. Also, during that same year
Cleburne County voters approved a measure to support the college with
sales-tax revenue. In 2006, ASU-Beebe bought a 249-acre tract on Sugarloaf
Mountain, and in 2007, the college completed phase 1 of construction.

Since the college’s inception, it has greatly expanded its academic offerings
to include an Associate of Applied Science degree in Welding Technology, as
well as an Associate of Applied Science in Hospitality Administration with an
emphasis in culinary or administration.

Community Education courses are also available, and offer personal interest
and professional development classes for all ages. The Adult Education Center
provides testing and classes toward earning the General Educational
Development (GED) degree.

Founded in 1927, Arkansas State University-Beebe is an operationally
separate, two-year institution of the Arkansas State University System. With
campuses located in Beebe, Heber Springs, Searcy, the Little Rock Air Force
Base, and online, the university offers associate degrees, certificates, and
