Designed to engage students in specialized environments to fit their interests, UCA’s Living Learning Communities (LLC) promote academic success and provide developmental support – all under one roof. Dedicated faculty, staff, and student mentors help guide freshmen on their career path and help them discover opportunities to connect classroom learning to real-world experiences in residential environments supported by the academic colleges.
Living Learning Communities offer a supportive community and an atmosphere that results in higher grades and a greater likelihood of returning for the next semester. Students take classes with peers who live just down the hall and make lifelong memories while navigating their college experience.
Gifts to the Living Learning Communities support experiential learning and co-curricular activities such as group outings to museums, community service projects, arts and culture programs, guest speakers, study abroad scholarships, free coffee and printing for commuter students in the Minton Commuter College lounge, and many other programs that help students thrive in their first year at UCA.
