Students interested in this program must have completed 90 credit hours of study towards the baccalaureate degree (including ACCT 2013, ACCT 3533, ACCT 3613, ACCT 3723) by the July 1 deadline: Acceptance into the integrated program is based upon the discretion of the admissions committee. The committee considers the overall quality of the applications including the overall grade point average, the grades in ACCT 2013, ACCT 3533, ACCT 3613, ACCT 3723 and the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT), as well as other relevant examples of academic ability and leadership. To receive serious consideration by the admissions committee, a student should have a minimum GPA of 3.0 within the applicant’s overall university and accounting coursework. Due to the demand for seats in the program, the admissions committee selectively restricts admission into the program based upon the availability of instructional resources. Students must complete at least two long-session semesters in residence in the M.Acc. program. Transfer students will be handled on a case-by-case basis. Satisfactory Progress Students are expected to make continuous progress toward the degree by completing required accounting coursework each semester. Students who fail to meet the requirements for the M.Acc. program must choose another major of study or finalize their B.S.B.A. in Accounting. Students will be notified before this action is taken and should meet with an academic advisor in the Undergraduate Programs Office upon notification.

Program Director a student on probation may not take graduate accounting courses.

Epley Jr. Professorship in Economics and University Professor Ferrier • University Professors Britton, Gay • Margaret Gerig and R.S. Martin, Jr. Chair in Business and Professor Farmer • Professors Curington, Deck, Dixon, Horowitz, Ziegler • ConocoPhillips Chair in International Economics and Business and Associate Professor Kali • Associate Professors Mendez, Reyes • Assistant Professors Civelli, Gu, Hao, Jahedi • Clinical Associate Professor Stapp • Clinical Assistant Professor Embaye • Instructor Jensen (S.) The department of economics offers two concentrations within the business economics major: 1) business economics 2) international economics and business. The concentration in business economics is intended for those students who are interested primarily in business, but at the same time have a desire to understand the more advanced tools of economic analysis. Such a background is excellent preparation for careers in corporate research and planning, as well as careers with government and regulatory agencies, for graduate study in business and economics, and for law school. Students who want to pursue an advanced degree in business economics can, with appropriate planning, complete a master’s degree at the University of Arkansas within 12 months after receiving a B.S.B.A. degree. Please see the economics department chair for more information. The international economics and business concentration is intended for students who wish to learn more about the international aspects of economics and business. It provides preparation for a broad range of careers in business, including management, marketing, and finance. It is strongly recommended that economics majors who plan to continue their studies at the graduate level take at least two semesters of calculus (MATH 2554 and MATH 2564) and linear algebra (MATH 3083). These courses will substitute for the math courses required within Walton College core (MATH 2043 and MATH 2053). Business Economics Concentration The major in Business Economics requires 24 hours of major and collateral courses in the discipline as well as satisfying the other requirements for the B.S.B.A. degree. A maximum of 27 hours is allowed in a WCOB major or discipline field of study (i.e., core, major, electives) unless the extra courses are part of an interdisciplinary minor or collateral track. See an adviser for selection of courses. The courses required for the business economics concentration include those required in Walton College and Fulbright College. In addition, 15 hours of specified courses (listed below) are required: Complete the requirements for a B.S.B.A. degree Hours as listed on page 208.
