Welcome to the University of Central Arkansas. If you are unfamiliar with UCA, let me take just a brief moment to describe it to you. The campus is a unique mix of Georgian-style architecture and up-to-date technology. With the Ozark foothills to the north and the state capital to the south, UCA is centrally located in Conway, one of the fastest growing cities in the state.
The University is more than just buildings and location, it's excellent faculty and outstanding staff all working together, creating an educational environment that produces excellent students. Our students leave UCA with the knowledge and skills necessary for life-long success in the twenty-first century.
As you explore our Web site, you will gain a sense of the importance we place on academics. The Honors College for example, established in 1982, draws outstanding students to UCA. It has become a model for Honors Colleges across the nation.
While at UCA, students not only have the best academic experience available but experience every aspect of college life including football, soccer, theatre and the fine arts just to mention a few.
As President, I pledge to work hard to maintain and increase the excellence of this University. The University of Central Arkansas is and will continue to be a premier institution of higher learning. Please email, write or call us if we can help in any way.
