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 ÿÈÕ´óÈüÍøÕ¾ 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.
“ ÿÈÕ´óÈüÍøÕ¾ 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 ÿÈÕ´óÈüÍøÕ¾ President Lu Hardin. “ ÿÈÕ´óÈüÍøÕ¾’s graduation rate continues to improve, along with the number of doctoral and master’s degree programs ÿÈÕ´óÈüÍøÕ¾ offers.”
