Gifts to the UCA Residential College Fund provide support for students through both curricular and co-curricular programming. Stroll through memory lane with us and think back on your Residential College experience. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
Arkansas’s first Residential College program began in 1997. Twenty-five years later, UCA remains the only four-year public institution to have an expansive system of living & learning communities for first-and second-year students. Each Residential College has a unique theme and character, and all help students build friendships and create a sense of belonging. And, of course, students who start in a Residential College graduate at rates much higher than those who live elsewhere their first year! There are currently six programs in the Department of Learning Communities:
Business Residential College in Bear Hall
Biz@Bear
HPaW Residential College in Baridon Hall

STEM Residential College in Hughes Hall
