You must also have a determination to do what is necessary to achieve your goal. You can get credit for equivalent work or noncollege instruction in two ways. The Department of Engineering Technology evaluates past work experience, based on documentary evidence supplied by the student, for possible credit. Students can often earn internship of cooperative education credit while working in engineering-related jobs. In addition, UALR offers tests for credit in many subjects, including engineering technology.
Costs are subject to change.
The Department of Engineering Technology has an incentive program that awards scholarships each semester based on academic performance. Some part-time jobs are available both on and off campus. UALR Counseling and Career Planning Services provides referrals, as do individual academic departments. Dormitory facitlities are available near the UALR campus, much of it within walking distance. The Office of the Dean of Students provides a referral service for houses, apartments, rooms, and roommates.
