2023-24 Catalog of Studies

Welcome to the University of Arkansas

Volume 118; Publication Date: June 2024

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.

The Catalog of Studies is published one time each summer by the Office of University Relations and the Office of Academic Affairs.

If you're reading this in a print version of the catalog, the online version is available at catalog.uark.edu and archived versions are available online at catalog.uark.edu/archives.

Students who enter a college within the University of Arkansas in the academic year of this catalog generally may expect to follow the graduation requirements set forth by that college in this catalog. Because the faculty of each college reserves the right to change graduation requirements, students should meet with their college advisers regularly to be certain that they are aware of any changes in graduation requirements that may apply to them.
