Adult Residential Colleges Association
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Adult Residential Colleges Association is a group of 27 residential colleges in the United Kingdom. ARCA colleges specialize in short-stay residential adult education courses for the general public. Many are run by local authorities, whilst others are operated by charitable trusts or similar organizations.
Each college publishes its own programme of weekend, midweek and day courses, summer schools and courses leading to recognized qualifications. Most are offered just for the enjoyment of learning rather than for formal credit. Academic qualifications are not required of those who enrol.
