Veterans and Military Resource Center

PURPOSE OF THE VETERANS  AND MILITARY RESOURCE CENTER:

The University of Central Arkansas is not just an outstanding school, it’s also a military friendly campus!  In order to maximize the experience of our military connected students, we have established the UCA Veterans and Military Resource Center.  The purpose of the center is to assist student Veterans, currently serving military members, and their dependents to better understand and access the education benefits they have earned.  In addition, our center assists veterans in their transition to the civilian college environment so that they may be more successful.  Various forms of outreach will take place by our resource center throughout the year to aid our military-connected community towards success and a more enjoyable experience.
