National Park College (NPC) is a public community college in Hot Springs, Arkansas. It was founded in 2003 as a result of a merger between Garland County Community College and Quapaw Technical Institute. It is now one of the state's largest community colleges, enrolling 3,000 students annually in credit programs and an additional 3,800 students in non-credit programs. Tuition at NPC is less than half that of Arkansas' universities. The name of the college is derived from its location adjacent to Hot Springs National Park.
