About ABC - Office of the Vice President

Letter from the Vice President/Chief Academic Officer

Thank you for visiting our web site:

As the Chief Academic Officer, I am delighted that you have decided to inquire about Arkansas Baptist College (ABC). I hope that your visit to our web page helps you get a feel for the type of College that ABC is and the excellence that we offer.

To any prospective students or anyone who may be inquiring about receiving a private, liberal art education, I feel that ABC is a wonderful choice. For over 100 years, ABC has served as Arkansas’ only black, Baptist, higher education institution.

I have a tremendous sense of pride in Arkansas Baptist College. I am working diligently with the academic leadership of the College and the faculty and staff to enhance the quality of academic programs, the quality of students and student experiences, the quality of faculty teaching, and enhance research and public service.

My goal is to drastically improve student achievement by recruiting, training and supporting academic leadership that cultivates the next generation of leaders. The main objective is that each program provides the highest quality education possible for our students. We have talented and principled people, a new commitment to academic excellence, and a future ripe with opportunity.

Again, thank you for visiting our website. I hope that the website is a helpful tool in assisting you with any information that you inquire about. If you choose to attend ABC, you will find our community of faculty, staff, and students to be friendly, inviting and intellectually stimulating. Our success as an institution would not be possible without the enrollment of new students, as well as, the re-enrollment of our returning students.

Here’s to an exciting and successful educational experience — Go Buffalos!!

Dr. Johnny D. Jones
