For any current or future high school seniors who may have interest in our program, please remind them that:
the Schedler Honors College and University Scholars Program at the University of Central Arkansas each realizes that high-ability students have special educational needs and we work to meet those needs through specially designed courses, individualized instruction, and a variety of co-curricular academic experiences;
