University of Central Arkansas

Welcome to our Website. For more than three decades the University of Central Arkansas has been preparing practitioners, educators, and researchers in a broad range of health-related professions. The College awards more undergraduate and graduate degrees in the health and behavioral sciences than any other four year institution in Arkansas. Advanced study opportunities for experienced professionals are provided through graduate degree programs at the masters and doctoral levels, and continuing education workshops and seminars.

Faculty in the College are regarded by students as caring and concerned for their personal and professional development. Several have been recognized nationally for their expertise and leadership. Our faculty continuously evaluate the practice environment to ensure that graduates enter the profession with contemporary knowledge and skills.

We seek students who have a strong willingness to learn, and a commitment to make a difference in the lives of others. If you have these qualities, I encourage you to visit with counselors in the UCA Office of Admissions, or contact departmental representatives.
