Distance Education
Baptist Health College Little Rock is an educational facility that serves many non-traditional
students. Distance education, internet-based, and hybrid methods of delivery transcend the
requirements of face-to-face classes thus providing greater flexibility to allow student
participation in classes on their own time. It provides a viable option to the motivated,
independent learner.

If a student applies to a non-residential program and lives outside of Arkansas, BHCLR will seek
permission from the student’s state of residence prior to enrolling the student in the program of
study. Prior to program completion, if the student relocates to a state in which the institution does
not have approval to operate, this may adversely impact the student’s ability to complete the
program or gain in-field employment.
