Baptist Health College Little Rock (BHCLR) continues to see record-high enrollment as the college prepares the next generation of healthcare professionals across Arkansas.
When classes commenced on Aug. 17 for fall 2026, nursing enrollment reached a decade high of 599 students, marking the college's largest turnout in 10 years. This sustained momentum follows last year's record enrollment numbers.
Overall enrollment for fall 2026 reached 723 students, including 124 students enrolled across six allied health programs.
The college now offers 10 programs of study, including its first baccalaureate degree and fully online program, the RN-to-BSN program, which was introduced earlier this year and launches in spring 2027.
Adding to this growth, BHCLR is offering a nights and weekend track for the Nursing Accelerated program, creating an additional pathway for qualified students seeking to advance their nursing education. Additionally, BHCLR’s Radiography program has transitioned from a certificate program to an associate degree program.
