The UCA Honors College has served as a model for numerous programs around the nation during its 26-year tenure and routinely places a high percentage of its graduates in top law, medical, and graduate schools. It has two honors residence halls with private rooms; an honors center with multipurpose spaces, offices, and seminar rooms; and a private endowment along with university support for an extensive grant program funding undergraduate research internships and study abroad.
