Sam M. Walton College of Business - University of Arkansas

Dean Dan L. Worrell [view video message]

Greetings! I am pleased to report that the Walton College has once again been ranked among the top 25 public undergraduate business schools in the United States. The research output of the faculty has similarly been ranked among the top public business schools. And you probably have heard that the Walton College received in 1998 a gift of $50 million from the Walton Family Charitable Support Foundation, Inc. - the largest upfront cash gift ever for any business school.

These offices provide a variety of support services to the college, from the most mundane, such as moving a file cabinet for you, to something complex, such as managing the twenty-one computing servers in the college, to something confusing, such as preparing a grant budget! The one common theme to these services is that they are always delivered with the highest levels of customer service.
