Ozarka College is a public two-year community college located in Melbourne, Arkansas, situated in the rural Ozark Mountain region. The main campus spans 40 acres and features modern classroom facilities alongside technical training spaces designed for career-focused education. Established in 1975 as Ozarka Vocational-Technical School before becoming Ozarka College in 1991, the institution maintains additional educational sites in Ash Flat, Mammoth Spring, and Mountain View.
