Southern Arkansas University at Rich Mountain Community College

Southern Arkansas University at Rich Mountain Community College is an off-campus instructional site of Southern Arkansas University (SAU), located in Mena, Arkansas. Southern Arkansas University is a public four-year institution based in Magnolia, Arkansas, that offers bachelor's and master's degree programs across business, education, science, and the arts. No separate enrollment, completion, or retention data are reported for this site in available IPEDS records, and no programs are individually listed for this location.

This site operates in partnership with Rich Mountain Community College, a two-year public institution serving Polk County and the surrounding area of western Arkansas. Partnership arrangements of this type typically allow students who complete associate degrees at the community college to access upper-division SAU coursework locally, facilitating degree completion without relocating.

Mena is a small city in Polk County in the Ouachita Mountains of western Arkansas. This instructional partnership reflects efforts by SAU to extend bachelor's degree access to rural communities in regions of Arkansas that are geographically distant from four-year university campuses.
