Did you know thousands of Arkansas Tech students are the first in their families to attend college? While this can be exciting and a little daunting, it鈥檚 a major milestone鈥攁nd a proud accomplishment! At TECH, we recognize the unique experiences first-generation students face and offer resources to help you connect and thrive.
We define first-generation students as those whose parents or guardians did not graduate from a four-year institution. They make up about one-third of our student body, along with many faculty and staff who were first-generation graduates themselves.
Whether you鈥檙e just starting college or planning your next steps, we鈥檙e here to help you succeed鈥攂ecause at 抖阴视频, Every Student Counts.
