University of Central Arkansas

Welcome to academics at the University of Central Arkansas. The UCA faculty and academic staff are proud of the University’s rich educational traditions, our current vibrancy, and our aspirations for the future. And, as the chief academic officer, I am pleased to invite you to look further into our community of student and faculty scholars. So, whether you are a prospective student considering UCA for one of its many excellent programs or a faculty member looking for a particular form, my colleagues in the Provost’s Office and I would be glad to help you find the information you seek.

Teaching, learning, and mentoring are hallmarks of the student experience at UCA for undergraduates and graduate students alike. Our faculty enhance our state and the world by their engagement with students as teachers, mentors, advisors, and role models; by their own learning through research and creative activities; and by their professional and community service. Together, students and faculty form a collaborative community of scholars that sets UCA apart as a singular collegiate experience. We value academic excellence, professional distinction, and civic responsibility. We respect our localities and embrace a global vision. We believe in the university’s mission to prepare students for meaningful careers, leadership roles, and life-long learning and to foster the same among our faculty and alumni. So explore the links on this page, and let us know how we can help you fulfill your dreams at UCA.
