The variety of careers includes the home and fashion industries, the food industry, the green industry, production agriculture, education, health and public service. Our undergraduate programs offer solid preparation for graduate school or advanced degrees in law, veterinary medicine, business, medicine or other specialized professions.
We are a student-centered college with an enrollment small enough to assure close attention to each individual's academic endeavors.
- Our college is large enough to be a major component of a research university that provides our students access to scholars making significant contributions to their disciplines.
- Our college's faculty members closely integrate their instruction with the research they conduct for the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station, assuring students of exposure to emerging concepts and technologies.
- Undergraduate students in our Honors Program have opportunities to work with senior professors on research projects.
- Global studies and internships are also available for students seeking to widen their horizons.
- Prospective undergraduate students are invited to contact Ashley Harris, our student relations coordinator, at 479-575-2252 or awharris@uark.edu.
We hope you will familiarize yourself with our offerings and choose to become a part of Bumpers College.

Dean and Associate Vice President - Academic Programs
