Welcome!
Welcome to the University of Central Arkansas, Office of Study Abroad and the Center of Global Learning. Over the past decade, the number of U.S. students studying abroad has more than doubled. The Institute of International Education reports that during 2006, more than 200,000 U.S. students studied abroad, and an increase of 8% from the previous year.
From Canada to Mexico to Costa Rica to The Netherlands to France to Spain to Belgium to Finland to China and many places in between, UCA has a study abroad program for everyone. Whether you want to immerse yourself in a culture to learn the language and lifestyle or you simply want the experience of a new culture in the midst of your education, there is a place for you.
UCA offers several short-term study abroad programs. To name a few we offer Healthcare in China, Sociology in Central America and Africa, Literature in the UK and Italy, Art in Italy and Language Immersion in Costa Rica and Belgium. UCA also offers exchange programs through several universities around the world that offer classes that UCA students can transfer back for credit toward their degree.
With all of the study abroad opportunities from which you can choose through UCA, finding the right experience for you will be simple!
I urge you to experience a new way of life, a new culture, new points of view and most of all, I urge to you to find out for yourself what a tremendously huge and ever changing world we live in.

destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things." - Henry
