Arkansas State University Mountain Home (ASUMH) has been ranked as the number one community college in the United States. The financial website wallethub.com conducted a study using several factors and determined ASUMH is the top choice in the nation for students choosing a community college.

Dr. Robin Myers, chancellor of ASUMH, says it’s an exciting honor for the local college and speaks well of the staff and students.

The study factored in three key dimensions: cost and financing, education outcomes and career outcomes. Myers says while ASUMH was not number one in any of the three categories, the college was ranked high enough to give it the best overall score from all two-year schools in the U.S.
