Arkansas runs cheap, public, and plentiful
25 of Arkansas's 26 welding programs are public, one of the highest public shares in our directory. Median tuition among the 26 programs reporting a figure is $3,804, roughly 20% below the $4,728 national median.
Arkansas Northeastern College in Blytheville sits at the floor, $2,570. Arkansas Welding Academy in Jacksonville is the state's one clear outlier at $18,713, still well under what a private technical institute charges in most other states.
No single city dominates
Arkansas's programs spread thin across small and mid-size towns rather than clustering in one metro. De Queen has the most at 1, El Dorado follows with 1, and the rest are scattered across the table above. 1 program hosts a co-located AWS Accredited Test Facility for AWS Certified Welder testing.
