The distance and electronic learning program of Arkansas Tech University (eTECH) was established in response to the changing higher education environment. The distance and electronic learning programs that comprise eTECH are an integral part of the overall academic program at Arkansas Tech University. The goal of eTECH is to provide a single focal point for On-Line Resources that are made available to extend the instructional programs of Arkansas Tech University. Courses offered through eTECH are fully accredited and, in some cases, an entire degree may be completed electronically without the need for actually visiting the campus.

Undergraduate students who require remediation, based on their ACT scores, must check with the Office of the Registrar to determine their eligibility to enroll in eTECH courses.

Students may apply for admission and registration through the Arkansas Tech University Web Site or by visiting the campus. You can learn more about eTECH and the courses offered by visiting http://etech.atu.edu.
