3 RESIDENTIAL COLLEGES

UCA brings living and learning together through a Residential College system that is unlike anywhere else in Arkansas. We’re the only four-year public university in the state to make this experience available to all incoming freshmen. Our five Residential Colleges allow you to take UCA Core classes where you live, which is a huge advantage on rainy days and early mornings. Each Residential College offers a supportive community of like-minded students and an atmosphere that results in higher grades and a greater likelihood of returning for the next semester. Your goal is to graduate, and these living and learning communities will help you reach that goal! Our student staff includes a resident coordinator, resident assistants, peer coaches and mentors who are trained to guide you through your first year. We also have faculty in residence: professors who live in the Residential College buildings with their families and pets.

Which Residential College is right for you? Each Residential College has unique themes and special traditions, and each is associated with an academic college. Whether you are majoring or just interested in the arts or communication, science or technology, education or leadership, health and wellness, or business and innovation, you will be welcomed by faculty who teach in your areas of interest. Classes, programs, competitions, clubs, service-learning opportunities, camping and canoeing, and even lunches with college administrators will make your first year at UCA spectacular.
