Community Development
The award-winning Community Development Institute Central (CDI) has trained thousands of professionals for over two decades. The institute builds the capacity of individuals and communities to positively impact economic and social development. This is achieved by expanding an individual’s ability to identify community assets, set goals, encourage collaboration and partnerships with stakeholders, and brings together groups of people to respond to a broad range of economic and quality-of-life issues.
Extended Study
Extended Study courses are UCA credit courses that are perfect for individuals who have a hard time fitting on-campus classes into their schedules. Both traditional and non-traditional students can take advantage of a course in which they set the pace of the class and fit in homework and tests based upon their individual schedules. The program is also great for individuals who are paying out-of-pocket for school because it allows more time to successfully finish a course as compared to semester-based courses. Some students find it very convenient when, in the middle of the semester, they realize they need another class and are able to sign up mid-semester with Extended Study. Courses are available in online and paper-based formats. Contact Extended Study at 501.852.7407 or credit@uca.edu.
