National Park College (NPC) is a public community college in Hot Springs, Arkansas. It was founded in 2003 as a result of a merger between Garland County Community College and Quapaw Technical Institute.[2] It is now one of the state's largest community colleges, enrolling 3,000 students annually in credit programs and an additional 3,800 students in non-credit programs. Tuition at NPC is less than half that of Arkansas' universities.[3] The name of the college is derived from its location adjacent to Hot Springs National Park.
