UNIVERSITY OF CENTRAL ARKANSAS

University of Central Arkansas in Conway has some of Arkansas’ and even the nation’s most innovative programs. One of its most innovative offerings is the Residential Colleges program. Students in the Residential Colleges program don’t only live in dorms together. They also take all of their classes together and engage in common social and extracurricular activities. Residential Colleges are divided up according to a focus, or discipline. For example, one residential college is focused... on living globally, another is dedicated to the arts and yet another revolves completely around the study of science, technology, engineering and math. Residential Colleges are optional. Students who wish to study in a more traditional format may do so as well and have over 75 undergraduate and 40 graduate degrees from which to choose.
