Part-time/Managerial MBA

Let's talk about what an amazing opportunity our part-time MBA is. We call this program our Managerial MBA (MMBA). This program starts each August and students take six hours a semester for six semesters by attending class in Fayetteville only one Saturday each month. This program was designed for full-time working professionals (i.e. very busy people). If you are a very busy person, this is the program for you.

Application deadline is April 1. However, we do accept application through the summer. To see the application criteria, go to gsb.uark.edu. We do end up enrolling about half of our applicants. This is a competitive and selective program. The admissions committee pays most attention to test score (GMAT is preferred but we will accept GRE) and work experience.

We are located in Northwest Arkansas - home of Walmart, Tyson Foods, Inc., and JB Hunt. Over 300 Fortune 500 companies are located in our backyard. Because of this unique situation, we have many highly qualified applicants. Current students are with Walmart, Tyson, JB Hunt, ConAgra, Dr. Pepper Snapple, Welch's, Leggett & Platt, P&G, Kraft, Cargill, Nestle, Hershey, and many, many more.

The Walton College GSB is fairly small compared to other schools of Business. Our total population is about 300. Over half of this number are MBA students - both part and full-time. Each August our new MMBA class enrolls approximately 60. These classes are held in the new state-of-the art Willard J. Walker Hall. Check it out by going to the link on the right. Each class is videorecorded for the convenience of our students. You can watch these lectures over and over, as many times as is needed.

Since class is only held once a month, many students do attend this program who are not from Northwest Arkansas. In between these monthly face-to-face meetings, you will be working online - turning in assignments, taking quizzes, participating in discussions. The Walton College uses Blackboard as our web-based classroom enhancer.

You would be fortunate to be in the next MMBA class to start in fall 2009. AND, you do still have time to apply. Contact gsb@walton.uark.edu with questions.
