Coming to Central Arkansas was one of the best life choices. Along with making amazing friends and memories, I have greatly enjoyed the academic aspect of college. Most of my days I wake up excited and ambitious about attending class and have loved my professors and their commitment to my education. The accredited programs have really allowed me to put full faith in the university leading me to academic success, most of the professors that I have been in class with have taught in a very effective way that allows me to truly comprehend the material from one semester to the next.
On top of being a student, being a cheerleader brings a whole different aspect of college to life. Being able to represent my university and become to connected to much of the student body is rewarding both in and out of the classroom. The sense of campus community and support at the university is what makes me proud to be a bear. Overall, my college experience is unforgettable, bearing many, many blessings!

I graduated from UCA in December of 2022 and just got accepted into the School Psychology Program there as well. The interactions I have had with faculty and staff have been incredibly positive and have allowed for multiple educational opportunities outside of the classroom. The Psychology department faculty are always willing to provide students with publication, presentation, and research opportunities outside of regular major classes. I could not promote this college enough!
I love attending UCA. There are so many student organizations that can be joined but they aren't in your face about it. Classes are not too large and get even smaller as you increase the difficulty level, allowing frequent and personal interactions with teachers. Additionally, housing options on campus are very conforming and you're guaranteed to find your fit. All offices are also quick to respond and very nice!
