What YOU NEED TO KNOW

ATU Focus Days are immersive preview experiences on the Arkansas Tech campus. Each academic college hosts a designated day, allowing for students interested in majors from that college to explore their chosen field of study more in depth. Attendees are encouraged to attend the Focus Day that more closely relates to their academic areas of interest, but you're welcome to attend any day that fits your schedule!

  • Be a college student for a day
  • Get a feel for college life and where you'll live
  • See popular hangout spots and attend a class
