I didn't even know that Arkansas Baptist College existed, and I'm from Arkansas. Weird.

That's really unfortunate.

Many times Colleges with ethniticy and gender close because as times change, they do not.

Many are small and money it tight.

Intentions are good, but economics rule!

I just checked their website a few minutes ago, and it's back up. There's a mention that they are currently redesigning their website, so the info is pretty sparse right now.

They did have a new President start work on February 1st of this year (according to the website). Per the Higher Education Commission Accreditation Website their enrollment as of 5/31/06 was 259 full time undergraduates, 28 part time undergraduates, with 16 Bachelor's Degrees conferred. Small enrollment, but it may work for them. Time will tell.
