College of Business Student Services

COB Admissions

We look forward to having you join us in one or more of our quality business programs!  There are a few things you may want to consider when transferring to UALR’s College of Business.  See the information below; then give us a call so we can assist you in your transfer!

Undergraduate COB Admissions

To be accepted into any program in the COB, the student must have completed MATH 1302 College Algebra and RHET 1312 Composition II, with a grade of C or greater, and have a minimum of 2.25 overall GPA (at UALR or transferring school) or 2.25 overall GPA on the most recently completed 15 hours at UALR. The GPA on the most recent 15 hours will be calculated on all hours attempted during the semester(s) in which the 15-hour requirement is met.

Credit for an upper-level business course is not granted if students complete such courses before accumulating 54 semester credit hours. Credit is not granted toward a degree for any business course taken without the prerequisites stated in the UALR catalog. Students may be administratively withdrawn from courses for which they are enrolled without the prerequisites.

Transfer of Credits

In general, credits earned with a grade of C or greater at other appropriately accredited institutions may be transferred for credit toward majors and minors offered by the College, unless otherwise noted within departmental sections. Credits for upper‐level business courses completed at schools not accredited by AACSB International are withheld pending review and validation by the department offering the course(s). Credits earned at community colleges in business courses offered by UALR at the upper‐level are not transferable toward a business degree. Students must complete at UALR at least 50 percent of the major department degree requirements and at least 50 percent of all COB courses required for a business degree. Transfer students should report to the appropriate department chairperson prior to their first registration.
