Why UWA?
Browse our degrees
I chose UWA because it offered me the opportunity to be involved in many different areas of student life, while still being able to receive a great education. I wanted to be a part of the close-knit environment between students and their professors.

Student Life
College is about more than what happens in the classroom. It’s a time to invest in yourself; to learn about yourself. It’s about discovery, growth and making new connections that can last a lifetime. That’s why UWA offers clubs and organizations geared to your passions, Greek life, intramural and varsity athletics, indoor and outdoor recreation on a 54-acre lake and in the Livingston area, a range of dining options, comfortable dorms and other residence options and much more. Take advantage of these opportunities and live your best student life.
