UALR’s College of Business moved up almost 30 places in the recently released U.S. News & World Report’s 2012 Rankings for Best Undergraduate Business Programs.

In 2011, the COB was ranked for the first time in the history of the college. In the 2012 list, it is ranked second among business schools in Arkansas.

“Congratulations to the faculty and staff of the College of Business,” said Dean Anthony Chelte. “This new ranking – and second consecutive year – provides external validation for the high quality programs, outreach, and overall excellence of our college.”
