We will achieve this mission by continuous improvement in:
The College of Business Administration offers degree programs for undergraduate students and for graduate students at both the master's and doctoral levels and has been a member of, and accredited by, the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business since 1931. The accounting program was separately accredited by A.A.C.S.B. in 1986 at both the bachelor's and master's level. The master's in business administration program was approved in 1963. Accreditation by A.A.C.S.B. and membership in that organization signifies the college commitment to A.A.C.S.B. goals of promoting and actualizing the highest standards of business education.
The College is located in a single building designed to be a modern, functional home for the on-campus programs. This single attractive facility houses fully equipped classrooms for the majority of business classes, five state-of-the-art computer laboratories for both classroom and student individual use, faculty and administrative offices, and a large study room for students equipped for individual as well as group studying.
The library of the College is part of the general University Libraries and is housed in Mullins Library. The business and economics collection comprises approximately 55,000 volumes. In addition, publications in business and economics make this library one of the best in the region.
In addition to providing undergraduate and graduate level education, the college also operates centers for research, outreach, and public service. These centers include the following:
Arkansas Household Research Panel
Bureau of Business and Economic Research
Bessie Moore Center for Economic Education
Supply Chain Management Research Center
Small Business Development Center
Center for Management and Executive Development
Undergraduate students may pursue curricula leading to one of the following degrees: Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, Bachelor of Science in Public Administration, or Bachelor of Science in Industrial Management. Students in the College of Business Administration may pursue an academic minor in the Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences. The College also offers a business administration minor for non-business students. Degree programs and minors are also outlined on subsequent pages.
All entering students (including freshman, international, and transfer students) admitted to the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, are eligible for admission to the College of Business Administration. Students will be required to follow the degree program requirements set forth in the catalog corresponding to the student's first semester in the College of Business, not the first semester of enrollment at the University of Arkansas.
Pre-Business Program
The following policies apply to the pre-business program:
1. Students pursuing a degree in the College of Business Administration are classified as pre-business administration (PBUS) with an intended major until they are admitted to a major in the College, generally the first semester of the junior year.
2. All pre-business administration students are assigned an adviser by the Undergraduate Studies Office.
3. To be eligible for admission into a major in the College of Business Administration, a student must achieve at least a "C" (2.00 on a 4.00 scale) overall grade-point average, and at least a 2.00 cumulative grade-point average in the following list of lower-division courses (or their equivalents). However, the student may not have more than six hours of "D" grades in the courses offered to meet this requirement or the requirement for graduation.
ENGL 1013 MATH 20431 ECON 2013 ACCT 2023
ENGL 1023 MATH 20531 ECON 2023 CISQ 2013
COMM 1313 BLAW 2013 ACCT 2013 CISQ 1121L/2232
1BSIM students must present MATH 2554 and 2564 in place of MATH 2043 and 2053.
4. Transfer students who are considered for admission to a major in the College of Business Administration must have completed the courses listed in (3) above and meet the 2.00 (on a 4.00 scale) cumulative grade average in the pre-business core and overall grade-point average. Transfer students will be classified as pre-business students until pre-business core requirements have been completed. If a State Minimum Core (SMC) transferred from another institution or college includes courses which are required by the College of Business Administration outside of the SMC (specifically COMM 1313 and MATH 2043) for the B.S.B.A. degree, these courses will be accepted outside of the "core" and the student will be required to complete appropriate SMC requirements.
5. Students' records will be evaluated each semester to determine whether a student should be moved to a major and have PBUS classification removed. After receiving notification that a student has been admitted into his or her major, the student is expected to arrange for a degree check by the Undergraduate Studies Office to ascertain remaining degree requirements.
Registration in Junior/Senior Level B.A. Courses
Admission to one's major must be achieved prior to a student's enrollment in junior or senior courses in the College of Business Administration.
Non-degree seeking students and students enrolled in other colleges are subject to the same course prerequisites as students within the College of Business Administration. Specific exceptions to this policy must be addressed to the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs.
Junior- or Senior-Level Course Policies:
1. All courses within a student's major and Strategic Management (MGMT 4833) must be taken in residence at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville.
2. Junior or senior level core courses in business and economics may be transferred from a school which is accredited by the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business (A.A.C.S.B.).
3. Junior or senior level core courses taken at a non-A.A.C.S.B. accredited four-year institution must either be repeated or validated by procedures specified and approved by the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs.
4. Junior or senior level electives in business and economics taken at a non-A.A.C.S.B. accredited four-year institution may be accepted in transfer as junior/senior business administration electives.
5. Course work offered at the junior or senior level in the College of Business Administration will not be accepted for transfer credit from any two-year college.
Transfer of Credit Policies
General Policies: In addition to the University policies controlling the granting of credit for course work taken at other institutions, the following policies apply to transfer work applied to any undergraduate business program:
1. Students currently enrolled or planning to resume degree program studies must obtain written approval from the Undergraduate Studies Office prior to enrolling in course work at another college or university.
2. Neither hours nor grades earned in transfer work are used in the determination of the student's grade-point average. Transfer courses accepted by the University will not be accepted by the College of Business Administration for degree purposes unless a grade of "C" or better has been earned in each of these courses.
3. A transferred course cannot carry more degree hours than are available in a similar University of Arkansas course. For example, a four-hour Principles of Accounting course transfers here as three degree hours.
4. Business courses completed at the freshman or sophomore level at another institution will not count as equivalents of junior or senior level courses offered in the College of Business Administration (University of Arkansas), and no transfer credit shall be granted for any such course(s) in the College of Business Administration.
5. If a student takes courses with different names but with similar content at different institutions or in different colleges within the University of Arkansas, degree credit will be allowed for only one of the courses, for example, Principles of Economics and Agricultural Economics.
6. Courses taken at any institution of higher education where the course content is remedial are not acceptable for degree credit.
7. The student should be prepared to submit course descriptions, syllabi, or other course-related information for transfer course work if there is any question as to whether the College will grant degree credit for such work.
8. At least fifty percent of program requirements in business and economics must be taken in residence.
Course Loads
The normal course load in the College of Business Administration is 15 to 17 hours per semester (and six hours per summer term). Students with a 2.75 grade point average the previous semester may take a maximum of 18 hours. Seniors may take 18 to 19 hours if required for graduation at the end of that semester, but they should remember that the overload may result in their being put on probation and a student cannot graduate while on probation. Students on probation are limited to a maximum course load of 15 hours. University regulations on the Number of Hours Allowed per Semester are on page 43.
Foreign Language Option
An undergraduate B.S.B.A. or B.S.P.A. student may elect to substitute twelve hours in a single upper-level foreign language for twelve hours in the junior-senior business administration elective block of courses for the degree requirements. In majors where less than twelve hours of junior-senior business administration electives are required to be presented, students may present the balance of the twelve-hour foreign language study in general education electives.
Dual Major
A student may elect to obtain a dual major by completing all required courses for two majors in the College (but not in two options within a single major). The minimum hour requirement for a dual major is 138 degree credit hours. If there are courses common to both majors, the department chairs involved will agree upon and specify additional requirements in lieu of the common courses. The junior/senior Business Administration elective block is reduced by three hours; however, choice of the junior/senior Business Administration electives is restricted to no more than three total hours from each department which offers the two majors. Students who have elected to substitute a foreign language course of study for junior/senior B.A. electives must complete twelve hours of junior/senior language courses.
The student must notify the Undergraduate Studies Office of intent to pursue a dual major. All requirements for dual majors must be completed prior to awarding of a degree.
Second Bachelor's Degree
Students seeking a second bachelor's degree must contact the Undergraduate Studies Office to ascertain specific requirements. Degree candidates must meet the University's general graduation requirements and the University requires that (1) the student take a minimum of 30 semester hours over the requirements for the first degree, and (2) the 30 hours cover a minimum of 36 weeks in residency at the Fayetteville campus. The College of Business Administration also requires that the student complete all courses in the Pre-Business and B.A. Core and the major (if some of these have been completed on the first degree, they are waived); it is recommended that any additional courses needed to finish the University's 30-hour requirement be junior or senior business electives. The second degree may be taken after the first is awarded, or both degrees may be awarded simultaneously after completion of all requirements for both.
College Graduation Requirements
1. University Requirements. Degree candidates must meet the University's general entrance, residence, and the Requirements for Graduation, including University Core (see pages 58-60), American History, and English proficiency.
2. Hour Requirements. Degree candidates must satisfactorily complete the total number of semester hours specified for the curriculum in courses approved for one of the majors outlined in the succeeding pages. No less than fifty percent of the total credits must be in approved subjects other than business administration. NOTE: Not all courses offered by the University will be accepted for degree credit by the College of Business Administration. Courses falling into this category are: ANTH 0003, OFSM 1013, 1213, PHSC 0003, RDNG 0003; ENGL 0003, MGMT 1033; MATH 0003. Developmental courses are defined as: 1) any course so designated by the University and 2) any lower division course taken after a higher-level course is taken. Credit will not be given for duplicate course work.
3. Grade Requirements. Students may have a maximum of six hours of "D" grades in pre-business core course requirements. Each student must have a 2.00 cumulative grade-point average in each of the following areas:
a. All work completed at the University of Arkansas.
b. All courses specifically designated for the major.
c. All required Business Administration Core courses and required economics courses
4. General Education Course Work. A student's general education course work must satisfy University core requirements, additional college/program course-specific requirements, as well as these two area requirements: 1) social issues, multicultural environment, and demographic diversity, and 2) micro and macroeconomics. If a student has not satisfied these area requirements within the Fine Arts and/or Social Sciences areas of the University core, these area requirements must be satisfied through general education electives to allow students to complete degree requirements within the hours indicated above.
Courses which will satisfy these area requirements are listed below. Note that many of these courses will also satisfy University core requirements. Where possible, a student should select courses which will satisfy both requirements. Accounting majors should refer to page 347 for additional distribution requirements.
1) Social Issues, Multicultural Environment, and Demographic Diversity
ANTH 1023, Intro to Cultural Anthropology (core)
SOCI 2013, General Sociology (core)
SOCI 2033, Social Problems (core)
WCIV 1003, Western Civ. I (core)
WCIV 1013, Western Civ. II (core)
GEOG 1123, Human Geography (core)
Foreign Language (core, if 2000 level or
above, general education elective otherwise)
2) Micro/Macro Economics
ECON 2013, Principles of Macroeconomics (core)
ECON 2023, Principles of Microeconomics (core)
5. Residency Requirements. The senior year's curriculum in business administration must be taken in residence. In addition, the student's major requirements (or the degree equivalent) and MGMT 4833 must be completed in residence. Specifically required junior or senior courses in business or economics must be taken at the University of Arkansas or at a school which is A.A.C.S.B.-accredited. At least fifty percent of the total hours in business and economics must be taken in residence.
6. Correspondence Course Rules. No more than 18 hours of course work taken by correspondence may apply toward the degree. These 18 hours may not include more than 12 hours of courses in economics or business administration, and may not include any junior or senior level economics or business administration courses without prior approval of the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs.
7. Catalog/Curriculum Changes. Business is a dynamic profession and the college and department curricula are updated continuously to keep pace with the changes in the business world. Students entering under this catalog will be required to comply with such curricular changes in order to earn their degree. The total number of hours required for the degree, however, may not be increased and all work completed in accordance with this catalog prior to the curriculum change will be applied towards the student's degree requirements. Furthermore, courses which are incorporated into the curriculum at a level lower than the one which the student has completed are not required for that student unless these are specific prerequisites. Students entering under earlier catalogs are responsible for completing the graduation requirements as published in the catalog in effect when they entered the program. Students having interruptions of their academic programs that exceed two calendar years must complete the requirements published in the catalog in effect when they re-enter the program. Exceptions to the graduation requirements must be approved by the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and appropriate department chair.
8. Degree Checks. Senior-level students are expected to arrange for a final degree check by the Undergraduate Studies Office to ascertain courses needed to meet the graduation requirements. This check should be made no later than the first semester of the senior year.
9. Exceptions. All requests for, exceptions to, and variations from, the rules, regulations, and requirements of the College and University should be made in writing to the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs of the College of Business Administration. Consult the Undergraduate Studies Office for these requests.
Graduation with Honors
The bachelor's degree Cum Laude (with honors) may be conferred upon candidates who at graduation rank in the top 10% of their graduating class. The bachelor's degree Magna Cum Laude (with high honors) may be conferred upon candidates who at graduation rank in the top 5% of their graduating class. The bachelor's degree Summa Cum Laude (with highest honors) may be conferred upon candidates who at graduation rank in the top 2% of their graduating class.
No honors degree will be conferred upon a candidate who has not completed at least one-half of his or her degree work at the University of Arkansas or who in the last four semesters of attendance has a cumulative grade-point average of less than 3.00 or has received a "D" or "F" in any course in the last semester. Certain other requirements will be outlined on request by the Dean of the College.
Cooperative Education (co-op) is an academic program that enables students to gain degree-related experience prior to graduation. It is a planned, progressive educational strategy in which the student obtains work experience related to his or her academic major and career goals. Participating students earn academic credit for their work experiences and are always paid by their employers. Co-op students can maintain their status as full-time students while participating in the program, even if their co-op experience requires they spend a semester working full-time. College of Business Administration students are eligible for co-op credit if they have: (1) completed the pre-business core and have obtained at least 60 hours of credit, and (2) a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or better. Students may receive one hour of credit for a job that requires 12-24 hours of work per week or two hours of credit for jobs that require 25 or more hours per week for a maximum of 6 hours of degree credit.
Students may seek either to qualify a job they have found themselves for co-op credit, or they may seek an employment opportunity through Career Services, 411 Arkansas Union. The employment opportunity may be either a full-time, off-campus work assignment that alternates with semesters spent on campus taking courses (an alternating co-op), or it may be a part-time job undertaken concurrently with course work (a parallel co-op). Once a student has been matched with an approved job, the co-op coordinator, the faculty co-op advisor, the student's work place supervisor, and the student work together to formulate career-related learning objectives for the coming semester of work. At the end of each semester of work, the student is required to submit a 3 to 5 page paper that re-states the student's learning objectives for the semester and discuss how the job experience fulfilled the objectives. The student is also required to submit an employer evaluation and the work supervisor is asked to submit an evaluation of the student's work.
For more information on participating in the College of Business Administration co-op program, for a current listing of co-op opportunities, and phone numbers of the people with whom you may discuss these opportunities, visit the Cooperative Education home page at http://www.uark.edu/depts/coopinfo/busipart.html/.

12Computer information systems and quantitative analysis majors should take CISQ 2263 in sophomore year. Students in the computer information systems option and the quantitative analysis option should also take CSCI 1023/1021L in their sophomore year.
Minors in the Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences
Students in the College of Business Administration may pursue an academic minor in the Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences. These academic minors usually consist of 15 to 18 hours of course work. The available minors and course requirements are specified in the Fulbright College section of the Undergraduate Studies Catalog. Students must notify the Undergraduate Studies Office of the College of Business Administration of their intention to pursue a minor. The College of Business Administration will certify that the requirements of the minor have been satisfied by graduation and, with the assistance of the Fulbright College, will advise students on the requirements to complete a minor. The minor will be designated on the student's transcript.
Courses that are part of the "University Core Requirements" or the "Additional General Education Requirements" or any other non-business course that is part of a student's course of study may also be counted for credit in a minor.
