Tis the Season

For Orientation, that is. Today was the beginning of eight days of Orientation. We began this stretch with MMBA, which will go today through Sunday. Monday will be MIS and Professional MIS, Tuesday and Wednesday will be MAcc, and Thursday is PhD.

The MMBA program is kicking off with 68 students this year. This is a little larger than usual. We did see an increase in applications for this program (unofficial count is 136 compared to 109 from last year). Average GMAT is 568, average GPA is 3.29, average age is 30 and average work experience is 7 years.

This group has degress from BYU, Texas Tech, UNC-Chapel Hill, George Washington, Michigan State, Georgia Tech, Purdue, Michigan State, Arizona State, Case Western, as well as UofA and many others. They represent companies such as Walmart, JB Hunt, Tyson, Smucker, Kraft, Hershey, Nestle, ABF Freight, General Mills, Bayer, SC Johnson, Dr Pepper Snapple, Sam's Club, and many more.

During this four day Orientation, they will take their first two-hour class, An Introduction to the Value Chain. Their first class will be August 27. This program is completed in two years by taking one class each month. You can see this year's schedule at http://gsb.uark.edu/mmba.asp.

Early decision deadline is April 1 and our application requirements are at http://gsb.uark.edu/admissions.asp.
