The distance education courses include graduate and some undergraduate-level courses offered via compressed video and Internet. Compressed video courses are open to students in Arkansas. Internet courses are open to any student with access to the Internet. Students who enroll in extended-study courses come from all over the world. The syllabus and lessons are mailed to students after they register for a course.
Students send in a test request form once they have completed all of their lessons.
Tests are sent to an approved testing center to be administered, and the test administrator then returns the completed test to UCA's Division of Continuing Education. Programs of Study UCA offers more than forty undergraduate-level courses through extended study in a wide range of subject areas, including accounting, education, English language and literature, geography, German language and literature, history, family and consumer sciences, marketing, management, mathematics, political science, psychology, social sciences, curriculum and instruction, and special education. UCA also offers various graduate classes and workshops in distance education, including administration of secondary education, academic technologies and educational leadership, business and marketing education, curriculum and instruction, educational media library science, family and consumer sciences, foreign language, physical therapy, occupational therapy, nursing, mathematics, management, health education, political science, and others. Student Services Students in distance learning courses have access to the UCA library, academic advising, and career placement options. However, because extended-study students are not admitted into the University solely by acceptance into this program, they do not have access to the UCA library, academic advising, career placement options, computing services, tutoring, or other such services.
