The University of Central Arkansas (Central Arkansas or UCA) is a public university in Conway, Arkansas. Founded in 1907 as the Arkansas State Normal School, the university is one of the oldest in the U.S. state of Arkansas.[2] As the state's only normal school at the time, UCA has historically been the primary source of teachers in Arkansas.[2] It was one of about 180 "normal schools" founded by state governments to train teachers for the rapidly growing public common schools. Some closed but most steadily expanded their role and became state colleges in the early 20th century and state universities in the late 20th century. [9]
The university comprises five colleges[10] and five residential colleges and one commuter college.[11] UCA has about 12,000 graduate and undergraduate students, making it one of the largest universities in the state.[6] The university maintains a student-to-faculty ratio of approximately 17 to 1.[7] Over 150 undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs are offered at the university.[7] UCA occupies over 120 buildings within its 356 acres (1.44 km2).[7]
