I love the atmosphere, the students get along well, and the academics are good. We have sports teams, an Acro team, an Equestrian Center, Equestrian Vaulting club, and a wonderful music department with a choir, selected choir, vocal octet, brass octet, symphony, and so much more.

I loved it at UCA! I was there for four years and I think it was the best thing for me at that time! I made the greatest friends and learned lots and had the greatest experiences. I wouldn't change anything.

I attended two years at UCA and must say they were my best academic experience so far. The staff is extremely friendly and caring, the teachers are knowledgeable and always make time to work with students through difficulties in homework. They have a nice campus and it's kind of out in the middle of nowhere but it's not bad.

They believe that what they can “get away with” is “what is right”. That is NOT what Jesus would do..... Unethical practices!
