Ozarka College is a technical and comprehensive higher education institution based in Melbourne, Arkansas. It provides associate degrees, technical certificates, and certificates of proficiency intended to facilitate transfer to four-year colleges or entry into and advancement within the workplace. Beyond degree programs, the college offers adult basic education, continuing education, and customized training for local businesses and industries. The institution emphasizes student success through a low student-teacher ratio and personalized attention from instructors. Ozarka serves Fulton, Izard, Sharp, and Stone counties from its Melbourne campus and through additional locations in Ash Flat, Mammoth Spring, and Mountain View, with online classes expanding scheduling flexibility. As a smaller regional college, it fits within the small-to-mid-sized segment of higher education, and in June 2026 it appointed Kathy Thomas as director of nursing.
