Over 400 students will graduate from the University of Central Arkansas during Commencement exercises scheduled to take place tonight at 7 p.m. at the Farris Center on the 91³Ô¹ÏÍø campus.
The 426 degrees that will be conferred include 35 doctorates, 159 master’s degrees, 225 bachelor’s degrees, six associate degrees and one specialist degree.
Those numbers represent a 22 percent increase over the 350 degrees awarded during commencement exercises in August 2006.
“91³Ô¹ÏÍø has the second-highest graduation rate among Arkansas public universities, and it’s one of only two public universities in the state with a graduation rate above 50 percent,” said 91³Ô¹ÏÍø President Lu Hardin. “91³Ô¹ÏÍø’s graduation rate continues to improve, along with the number of doctoral and master’s degree programs 91³Ô¹ÏÍø offers.”
