The Walton College does not assign specific academic advisors to students. The Undergraduate Programs Office has nine academic advisors. You can schedule an appointment with any of them dependent on availability. You can meet with the same advisor every time or you can choose a different advisor.
Each Walton student with an advising hold is required to meet with an academic advisor. To determine if you have an advising hold, please check the notifications tile in UAConnect.
There are three ways to schedule an appointment for Walton majors:
It depends on the hold, but all academic advising holds and all WCOB pre graduation check holds require a meeting with a Walton academic advisor. Schedule an appointment.
For Walton students, changing your major or adding a minor is as simple as meeting with an academic advisor. The academic advisor can help you declare the major or minor and explore which courses will be required by adding the major/minor. For non-business majors, students will add the Walton minor by going to their respective Dean’s office and adding the Walton minor.
There are six parts to the Walton curriculum: Pre-Business Core; Business Core; University Core; General Education Electives (BSBA) / Foreign Language (BSIB); Junior Senior Business Electives (BSBA) / International Business Courses (BSIB); and Major (BSBA) / Concentration (BSIB). View Advising worksheets for each major.
A pre-requisite is course or requirement that must be completed before the term when the described course is taken. A co-requisite is a course that must be taken before or at the same time as the course described.
The state of Arkansas specifies several core courses that students must successfully pass to obtain a degree. There are 7 areas: English (6 hours); Mathematics (3 hours); Science (8 hours); Fine Arts (3 hours); Humanities (3 hours); US History or Government (3 hours); and Social Sciences (9 hours). The University has identified the specific courses that meet these area requirements. Visit the catalog to find State Minimum Core.
The Bachelor of Science in Business Administration degree requires a minimum of 9 hours of General Electives. This can be any course offered at the University of Arkansas. Restrictions: No more than six (6) hours of business courses; no remedial course; no more than 3 hours of PEAC or DANC courses; no courses for which a student has already received credit; and Walton majors cannot take the following course for credit: MGMT 3653; ECON 3053; ECON 3063; or ECON 2143.
A junior/senior business elective is any 3000 or 4000 level course offered by a Walton College Department (ACCT, BLAW, ECON, FINN, ISYS, MGMT, MKTG, SCMT, SEVI, WCOB). There are four exceptions: ECON 3053, ECON 3063, WCOB 3043, and MGMT 3563 - students cannot take these four courses to satisfy junior senior business electives. We recommend speaking with an academic advisor before taking junior senior business electives in the same discipline as your major.
A “C” indicates that the course has a drill component as a co-requisite.
Contact the registrar or record’s office where the course was originally taken and ask them to send official transcripts to: Office of the Registrar, 1083 East Sain Ave., 1 University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, AR 72701. Many schools can also electronically send transcripts to registra@uark.edu. Check your UAConnect account to verify the transcripts have been processed.
Undergraduate students may select up to 9 hours of any combination of UA courses with posted grades of “D” or “F” to be excluded from their cumulative grade point average calculation. Find more information on the grade exclusion policy.
The graduation application can be found in the Student Homepage in UAConnect. View detailed instructions for graduation applications.
To request credit for an internship (i.e. to be enrolled into WCOB 310V Internship Credit) students must submit a Internship Credit application. Application must be submitted by the deadline of the requested term.
