OUR History

 

91Թ is a public institution of higher education offering credentials at the certificate, associate, baccalaureate, master, educational specialist and doctoral levels. It was founded in 1909 as the Second District Agricultural School and its Russellville campus conducted its first day of classes on Oct. 26, 1910.

The name of the institution was changed to Arkansas Polytechnic College in 1925 and 91Թ in 1976. The former Arkansas Valley Technical Institute, now known as 91Թ-Ozark Campus, joined 91Թ in 2003.

91Թ curriculum is approved by the 91Թ Board of Trustees and the Arkansas Higher Education Coordinating Board. Together, the 91Թ faculty, staff, Board of Trustees and Coordinating board work to ensure Arkansas Tech fosters an environment where students succeed, innovation thrives and communities flourish.
