University of Central Arkansas Reviews

"It's a wonderful school, diverse in its student body, well rounded with its faculty. Class offerings for most every person, and not so athletically driven as to bypass academic achievements."

"The Bachelors in Business Administration program is great at UCA. I specialized in Finance. However, you must network and get internships if you want a career in financial management. Accounting jobs are easy to find, but the actual business of lending or corporate finance requires knowledge and a great network."

"I was very disappointed with the OT program at UCA. Most of the instructors are very out of touch with the real world of OT. Some instructors are downright rude and mean to students. Students who suck up to teachers are given special treatment. Students are required to teach themselves and their classmates course information rather than the instructors doing it themselves. Some instructors actually refuse to answer questions in class, seemingly hoarding years of experience and knowledge not to be shared with students. Very little content included on the NBCOT test was included in the curriculum, requiring the student to have to spend countless hours learning new information after graduation. I advise anyone considering an OT career to look elsewhere when choosing a college.Read Less"

"College to me was exciting and challenging, but I love a challenge. I have learn plenty of filmmaking and writing of the like, but I learned so much more thanks to the film program of UCA. I mature my skills, learned more about the craft, made amazing friends and even family, and had an extremely memorial experience."

"I enjoyed my experience and all that UCA had to offer! A smaller school made it easier to get involved and make friends."

"I loved UCA. The faculty took the time to make sure you were set up to succeed. The social life wasn't bad either"

"I love the atmosphere of UCA! I made alot of life ling friends there and I did not join a sorority to do so."

"I believe that the pros definitely outweigh the cons. The graduate program I am currently in is very convenient because it is mostly online. There are a few classes that are also held on campus a few times a month, and that is helpful to have some face to face interaction with classmates and the professor. All of my classes have been very informative and challenging. The only cons I can think of would be that the lack of face to face interaction can be frustrating sometimes. It does make communication a little bit more difficult, but all of my professors have been very good at communicating and responding as quickly as they could.Read Less"

"The University of Central Arkansas has a fantastic program for future Speech Language Pathologists. The teachers are wonderful and very helpful. UCA offers many benefits to this program, one of those being a clinic on campus for the students going through the masters program. This also enables undergraduate students to obtain observation hours for free and without having to travel to observe or pay for an online observation program. I highly recommend this university and program."

"My graduate program was an excellent program with very professional instructors who guided me along the way. The only con of my graduate program is like many, there are few if any opportunities for financial aid outside of student loans."

"Currently my GPA is not acceptable to be considered as fully admitted student. I have to pay for 9 hours and get a 3.0 tin order to be accepted. I've attended the University before and it is an exceptional school. I'm eager to get funding so I can start my Master's in School Guidance Counseling."

"This is a great program. This program has very knowledgeable faculty who are experts in their respective fields. This program provides great variety and expectations for clinical rotations. Overall, UCA's DPT program provides a perfect route for developing competent and effective entry level physical therapists upon graduation."

"The Physical Therapy program at UCA is very dedicated to it's students and strives to create competent physical therapists. UCA PT program offers hands on experience while in the program and professors are always available for questions or guidance.

They make you feel like they are your colleague on a professional level! I believe the success of this program and its students is highly due to the faculty and staff!"

"Professors are amazing! All the course work is awesome and everyone in class becomes a family. Great place to live and go to school."

"This department offers a high quality education that emphasizes the integration of physical, psychosocial, and functional aspects of patient care. The program is highly involved with relevant clinical research and advocates for an Evidence-Based Practice approach to physical therapy."

"Great professors, excellent facilities, 24/7 access to study in the building, welcoming/supportive environment."
