The "Epic" of Walton College

The story of the Sam M. Walton College of Business at the University of Arkansas doesn’t begin or end with the historic $50 million gift from the Walton Family Charitable Support Foundation. That watershed moment in 1998, however, has proven to be a fitting tribute to our past, a solid foundation for our present, and a significant springboard toward our future.

Former faculty, staff, students, and donors helped build a college worthy of the largest upfront cash gift ever given to a public business school at that time. At the same time, the gift provided the much-needed resources for unprecedented growth and recognition as a nationally competitive college.

And with our footings solidly in place, the Walton College is perfectly positioned to become a top-tier public business school. This is the story of how we got where we are and how we plan to get where we’re going.

No Same-Old, Same-Old Degree

If you’re going to teach innovation, after all, it doesn’t make much sense to approach in a same-old, same-old fashion.
The history is important to understanding what students can expect from a degree in innovation and entrepreneurship
The program is being designed to teach students, regardless of their academic major, the concepts they need to start and run a small business or nonprofit or to innovate within existing organizations.
