Our Mission
UCA’s Learning Communities bring together students, faculty & staff from all walks of life as a family that cares about one another’s personal & academic growth. We are a community of scholars that encourages an environment of intellectual risk and who engage in academic, professional, & civic endeavors in order to help students persist to graduation. By participating in learning communities we affirm our commitment to a culture of inclusiveness, innovation, & collaboration.
