University of Central Arkansas

Residential colleges are more than just places to stay. They are co-educational living and learning communities that provide opportunities to connect to every aspect of student life. UCA offers three residential colleges: Hughes, State, and Short-Denney.

The UCA Office of Admissions offers daily tours to prospective students and their families at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Monday through Friday while classes are in session.

Over the last century, the University of Central Arkansas has become a four-year, public institution offering undergraduate, graduate and doctoral degrees. It is one of the best and most affordable options for higher education in the South. UCA offers its students 81 undergraduate and 42 graduate certificate and degree programs, including doctoral programs in four disciplines. With an enrollment of over 12,000, UCA is large enough to offer academic diversity, yet small enough to show personal interest and support.
