About University of Central Arkansas
The University of Central Arkansas (UCA) is a major comprehensive public university situated on a scenic 356-acre residential campus in Conway, Arkansas, approximately 30 miles north of Little Rock in the Arkansas River Valley. Founded in 1907 by the Arkansas General Assembly as the Arkansas State Normal School, UCA is one of Arkansas's oldest public higher education institutions and has developed into a preeminent regional center for healthcare, teacher education, business, honors scholarship, and the fine arts. UCA is celebrated for its Norbert O. Schedler Honors College—one of the oldest honors colleges at a public university in the nation (established in 1982)—as well as its elite graduate clinical programs in Physical Therapy (DPT), Occupational Therapy (OTD), Speech-Language Pathology, and Nursing (BSN to DNP). UCA's 18 NCAA Division I athletic teams compete in the Atlantic Sun Conference (ASUN) and the United Athletic Conference (FCS Football), playing home football games on "The Stripes" at First Security Field at Estes Stadium—world-famous for its alternating purple and gray turf. Conway is known as "The City of Colleges," offering a vibrant, safe collegiate community supported by campus cultural anchors like the 1,200-seat Donald W. Reynolds Performance Hall.
