Arkansas ranks toward the bottom of the nation in educational degree attainment. Barriers to degree attainment in Arkansas may be identified, in part, by the examination of four-year institution administrator viewpoints toward two-year college education. Examination of administrator attitudes toward two-year college education areas such as faculty, students, programs, administrators, facilities, and transfer/articulation processes may lead to a better understanding of the difficulties surrounding degree attainment. A modified version of The Junior College Attitude Survey was used to survey 255 higher education administrators from 11 Arkansas public four-year institutions of higher education about different areas of two-year college education. Overwhelmingly, administrators surveyed held generally favorable views of two-year college faculty, students, programs, administrators, facilities, and transfer/articulation processes. When comparing attitudes by administrative level, university deans compared to vice-presidents for example, very few differences were found to exist. Survey respondent results were also compared to a study conducted two decades ago in Arkansas on attitudinal viewpoints. A longitudinal comparison revealed a significantly more favorable and positive viewpoint toward all areas of two-year college education except in the surveyed area of facilities. The majority of public four-year college/university higher education administrators in Arkansas have favorable viewpoints toward two-year college education. Over the past two decades, these viewpoints have become even more favorable indicating that administrative viewpoints are not acting as barriers to degree attainment in Arkansas.
