The Arkansas State Legislature created The Arkansas State Normal School (now known as UCA) in 1907. The purpose of The Arkansas State Normal School was to properly train students to become professional teachers and rid Arkansas of haphazard schoolteachers. Classes began in 1908 with nine academic departments, one building on 80 acres, 107 students and seven faculty members.

Studying at LCCA has been a creative and inspiring experience. The course in Fashion Media and Promotion gives me the freedom to explore different directions in the fashion industry � from styling and branding to content creation and digital publishing. What I like most is the focus on practical projects that connect directly to real industry work. The environment is very international and creative, which helps to build confidence and communication skills. I also appreciate that the tutors encourage individuality and help students discover their own creative voice. Of course, like any university, it can have areas to improve � sometimes organization and communication could be smoother � but overall, it�s a great place for students who want to grow creatively and gain experience in fashion media.
I�ve been a student at the IDC for a little over a year now, and I can say the teachers really know their stuff. They�re professionals in their design areas, and you can tell they�re passionate. But there�s definitely a gap between what students are expected to do and the skills most of us actually have when we first arrive. If you�re just starting in the world of design, the first months can feel pretty overwhelming while you try to adapt to the institute�s pace. It�s also a pretty expensive career. Besides tuition, you�ll end up spending a lot on materials. But if you can handle those costs, you�ll come out with skills that go way beyond the basics. During the first years you go through the basic cycle, where you try classes from all the specializations before choosing your path. This stage is kind of the �filter� that shows whether this high?intensity teaching style works for you or not. A lot of people fail or drop out during this time, and honestly, there�s no shame in that. If it happens, it just means you now know what areas you need to work on to grow stronger in your field.
It�s a great university, the teachers are always willing to help their students and have in person consulting hours thru the day. The university also has a lot of programs and workshops that help students to start their own business or find a job they love.
