Who We Are

Arkansas Colleges of Health Education (ACHE) is a private, not-for-profit institution located on 500+ acres in Fort Smith, Arkansas. The ACHE campus has evolved with the development of five crucial programs: the Arkansas College of Osteopathic Medicine (ARCOM), School of Physical Therapy (ACHE PT), School of Occupational Therapy (ACHE OT), Master of Science in Biomedicine (MSB), and Master of Public Health (MPH). Adding to the institution’s impressive offerings is the ACHE Research Institute Health & Wellness Center (RIHWC), a 317,000-square-foot facility that offers health & wellness initiatives through exercise classes, ceramics, teaching kitchen, and art galleries.  A 90,000-square-foot biomedical research lab will open in fall of 2024.
