For campus carry, the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) previously said eight states allowed this, but Michigan (it clearly allows people with a permit to carry guns on college campuses as long as they carry openly) and Tennessee that allows carrying by professors and staff.  (There is some debate on the number here.)

However, to carry in Arkansas at these new locations, people will be required to get 8 hours of training.
