ASU-Mountain Home has been a part of the ASU system since 1995. Since then enrollment has grown to approximately 1200 students. As a public two-year institution, ASUMH offers associate degrees and certificates in occupational fields and transfer degrees for students planning to pursue a bachelor’s degree at another university. Junior, senior and graduate courses are offered through the ASU-Jonesboro programs on the ASUMH campus as well.

Other educational opportunities include non-credit community interest courses. Low tuition and small classes are two of the main reasons students choose ASUMH. Senior citizens may attend regular college credit courses tuition-free as space is available.

Community support for ASU Mountain Home has been tremendous. More than $7 million in endowments and gifts have been pledged to the university for a lecture series, a concert series, landscaping, construction and more.

The Jim and Jill Gaston Lecture Series and the Arvest Bank Concert Series bring two lecturers and two musical venues to the area annually. The programs are open to the public, free of charge thanks to the generosity of the Gaston’s and Arvest Bank.

The Norma Wood Library is located on the first floor of Roller Hall and functions as an education center for the college community. The library houses an open shelf collection that include books, films, audio cassette journals and newspapers. It also offers free access to 18 computer workstations that link to the Internet and several online databases. Anyone living within the university’s service area may apply for a library card.
