Crowley's Ridge College

Discover Crowley's Ridge College, a distinctive institution where faith and education intertwine, deeply affiliated with the Churches of Christ. Founded in 1964, CRC has cultivated a rich heritage of learning, building upon the spiritual foundations laid by earlier regional institutions. It's a place where students can pursue their academic goals within a supportive, values-driven community, preparing them for lives of purpose and service.

CRC's journey has been one of remarkable growth and dedication to providing accessible higher education. A significant milestone was achieved in 2000 when the college earned formal accreditation from the Higher Learning Commission, solidifying its commitment to academic excellence. Originally known for many years as the only two-year college in the U.S. affiliated with the Churches of Christ, CRC embarked on an ambitious transition in 2007, receiving approval from the Arkansas Department of Higher Education to expand its offerings to the baccalaureate level.

This evolution culminated in September 2008 when the Higher Learning Commission extended the college's accreditation to include new four-year programs. Today, students at Crowley's Ridge College can choose from a robust selection of eleven baccalaureate degree programs, including a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and a Bachelor of Arts in Biblical Studies, alongside three foundational associate degree programs. CRC offers an environment where students can thrive academically and spiritually, building a strong foundation for meaningful careers and personal growth.
