University of Central Arkansas

Established in 1969, the University of Central Arkansas (UCA) College of Business blends a deep academic legacy with a forward-thinking approach to modern commerce. As an AACSB-accredited institution, we serve a thriving community of over 1,500 undergraduate and 100+ graduate students dedicated to mastering the complexities of today’s marketplace.

Our curriculum is defined by innovation and a steadfast commitment to ethical leadership. By integrating emerging technologies with core business values, we ensure our graduates are prepared to lead with both skill and integrity. This reputation for excellence has made UCA a trusted talent pipeline for the region’s most influential employers.

We distinguish ourselves through one of the most active internship programs in the state, offering students unparalleled access to experiential learning and professional networking. These vital internships allow students to bridge the gap between theory and practice, building professional networks long before graduation. The return on investment of a UCA business degree is evidenced by our placement record; our students are among the first in the state to be recruited by global industry leaders, including Acxiom, FORVIS LLP, Crews & Associates, Dillard’s, HP, J.B. Hunt Transport, and Walmart.

At the UCA College of Business, we bridge the gap between classroom theory and industry demand, empowering the next generation of leaders to make an immediate impact on the global business community.
