Black River Technical College is a public institution located in Pocahontas, Arkansas, a largely rural setting with proximity to larger regional centers like Jonesboro. Established in 1972, this college offers a comprehensive range of educational programs with an emphasis on technical and occupational fields. Known for its personal and welcoming campus atmosphere, Black River Technical College provides an array of associate degrees and certificate programs, with a focus on career readiness in areas such as nursing, law enforcement, and fire science. While the college maintains an open admissions policy, it is selective in program-based enrollment, especially for its licensed practical nursing (LPN) and registered nursing (RN) programs. The campus infrastructure is modern, with facilities designed to aid in hands-on learning and skill development. Student housing is not available on campus, thus most students reside off-campus. Black River Technical College is not predominantly recognized for intercollegiate athletics and thus does not emphasize this aspect in its student life offerings.

Black River Technical College has an open admission policy which permits enrollment by any high school graduate or GED holding student.  702 students are enrolled on a full time basis, and 864 attend part time. In-state tuition for 2022/2023, excluding room and board, is $2,448 plus fees of $1,992.
