The Sam M. Walton College of Business is one of the fastest growing colleges in the nation and has a current enrollment of 5800 students. The University of Arkansas had completed a fund raising campaign that raised over one billion dollars in private contributions, with the Walton College receiving two hundred and twenty million dollars in gifts and endowments. A new capital campaign is underway, with a number of transformational gift ideas in place that will benefit the Walton College. Funds from previous campaigns have been used to establish several scholarships, endowed professorships and chairs, summer research support, and to install state of the art classroom technology in the College. 

The College is located on a four building business campus including the Walton College building, housing most undergraduate and PhD education, Willard Walker Hall, home of our graduate programs, the Donald W. Reynolds Center for Enterprise Development and the J.B. Hunt Transport Center for Academic Excellence, site of our state-of-the-art behavioral research lab.  In 2012 U.S. News and World Report recognized the University of Arkansas as one of its 10 "up and coming" public universities. The 2016 U.S. News and World Report ranked the Walton College's undergraduate program 27th among all public universities, and our college is among the top 50 of all public and private undergraduate business schools in the US. We have a strong Full Time MBA program which has ranked among the 30 best programs in public universities in recent rankings of the US News and World Report.

We are located in Fayetteville, which offers an idyllic rural/urban mixed environment and is nestled in the beautiful Ozark Mountains.  The area is part of the rapidly growing Northwest Arkansas Region with a population of about 500,000.
