Volume 117; Publication Date: June 2023

This catalog of studies is a comprehensive reference for your years of study — a list of degrees, degree programs and courses offered at the University of Arkansas. In addition, it gives you valuable information such as suggested and required degree plans and information about costs, scholarships and financial assistance, and campus resources. Read it with pleasure and with care.

Take every opportunity to consult your academic adviser to ensure that you are taking advantage of courses and university resources that will help you reach your educational and career goals and graduate on time. If you are not sure where to find your academic adviser, contact the dean’s office of your college; the phone numbers are listed on the preceding page.

Remember, the University of Arkansas is committed to your success. The faculty and staff are here to support you as you work to achieve your goals. Ask for help and advice whenever you need it.

The University of Arkansas is committed to the policy of providing educational opportunities to all qualified students regardless of their economic or social status and will not discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex, creed, sexual orientation, disability, veteran’s status, age, marital or parental status, or national origin.
