What if your child wants to study a certain program that not one of the universities in our state has? Is it still a “whim” to go out of state then?

<p>That’s when you check whether your state’s public college system has reciprocity agmts w other states. Arkansas is part of the Southern Regional Education Board of the Academic Common Market:

Is a degree program you’d like to pursue not available in your state? Have you found a degree program at an out-of-state institution, but the higher tuition is a barrier?</p>

<p>Looking for options with lower tuition?</p>

<p>…For more than 35 years, the SREB Academic Common Market has enabled students to pursue out-of-state college degrees at discounted tuition rates, through agreements among the states and colleges and universities.
