Business Week Ranks Walton Accounting #19 Among Public Accounting Programs

Business Week has ranked the accounting specialty at the Sam M. Walton College of Business at the University of Arkansas in a tie for 19th place among the top public undergraduate business schools.

The accounting specialty ranked 35th place among both private and public.

As part of Business Week’s undergraduate business school survey, senior business majors were asked to grade their programs on a scale of 1 to 5 in 12 academic areas, including marketing, accounting, calculus, financial management and corporate strategy.

The top six public and private business school accounting specialties were at Boston College, Binghamton University, Georgetown University, Cornell University, University of Southern California and University of Texas.

In the student survey, Walton College was given an ‘A’ in its facilities and service to students. It also received an ‘A’ in job placement, which is a tribute to the hard work of Walton College Career Development Center.

Business Week ranked 101 programs.

The Master of Accountancy has admitted 35 students to begin in the fall. We are still accepting applications to this program. To apply, go to gsb.uark.edu.
