University of Arkansas

Few in 20th century America did more to advance the study of international relations or promote human understanding than J. William Fulbright. Committed to the idea that a free society and a peaceful world require, above all, an educated citizenry, he urged with unflagging energy the use of historical perspective, cultural relativity, and scientific objectivity in the study of human affairs. Senator Fulbright, like Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, and Abraham Lincoln before him, was committed to the belief that an educated, enlightened electorate will act not only in its own self-interest but also in the interest of all the people of the world.

In recognition of J. William Fulbright’s contribution to the cause of liberal education and of his many services to his native state, the Board of Trustees of the University of Arkansas on November 20, 1981, resolved...

The College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, shall be named, henceforth, the J. WILLIAM FULBRIGHT COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES. His name will imbue that college, and the University, with his reputation and image for a devoted interest in higher education and its accomplishments through its scholars as reflected in its students.

The college has adopted as its mission the following statement from Fulbright’s writings:

... the highest function of higher education is the teaching of things in perspective, toward the purposes of enriching the life of the individual, cultivating the free and inquiring mind, and advancing the effort to bring reason, justice, and humanity into the relations of men and nations.

Consisting of 19 departments and numerous centers and research units, Fulbright College has a twofold mission: to provide a broad, liberal education to all students within the University community and to furnish specialized knowledge at the upper division and graduate levels leading to a professional career. The general education curriculum within the college is designed to assure students’ mastery of the English language, provide knowledge of the historical, social, intellectual, and linguistic bases of human culture, provide habits of thought useful in later life, encourage the development of aesthetic, political, and ethical values, and offer the necessary foundation for professional competence or further training in professional or graduate schools. The general education curriculum of the college is based on the Platonic assumption that the pursuit of knowledge is an intrinsically good activity and that it is incumbent upon all members of an enlightened society to engage in that pursuit.

Recognizing that its students must become productive members of contemporary American society, Fulbright College offers undergraduate majors in fields ranging from chemistry and art to journalism, physics, social work and psychology. In addition, the college, in cooperation with the Graduate School, offers course work leading to master’s degrees and doctoral degrees. As a natural corollary of their instructional role, faculty members of the college pursue active research programs that enable them simultaneously to provide state-of-the-art education to their students and bring national and international recognition to the University.

In sum, Fulbright College lies at the very heart of the University. The seat of liberal learning within the institution and the state, it is committed to providing excellent general education to all members of the student body and specialized instruction of the highest quality to its own majors.

Academic Advising Services

The Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences provides an adviser for each student enrolled in the college. Freshman- and sophomore-level students are advised in the Fulbright College Advising Center in Old Main 518. All undeclared major students and all freshman declared major students doing a four-year honors program receive advising from the Fulbright Honors Program office in Old Main 517. The faculty of each department within Fulbright College assumes responsibility for advising junior and senior-level students who have declared majors in the department and those who have declared current interest in the department as a possible major area. Other advisory services exist to provide aid and direction to students who are non-degree candidates as well as those who are beginning work in the college without having yet decided on a major and those who are planning to attend professional schools such as those for medicine or pharmacy. Advisers in the Fulbright College Advising Center will assist students in program planning and will help them to become aware of and familiar with the academic offerings of the university. Students should consult their advisers on a regular basis, not limited to registration matters but including all areas of their academic careers. Personnel in the Fulbright College Advising Center or the Dean’s office will direct students to the appropriate advising office.

Students should discuss with their advisers opportunities for individual variations as well as regular course requirements. Programs and facilities of particular interest to individuals may include the Honors Program, programs for advanced placement and credit by examination, study abroad and the services of the University Career Development Center.

The Career Development Center administers and interprets tests that measure individual ability, interest, and achievement, and thus may aid also in counseling students about the field of study in which they are most likely to be effective and successful.

For questions regarding advising, contact the Fulbright College Advising Center at 575-3307 or visit online at http://fcac.uark.edu.

Undergraduate Preparation for Professional Programs

The Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences offers courses that are required for the study of law, medicine, dentistry, teaching, pharmacy, social work, and other professions. It provides supporting programs in the humanities, fine arts, social sciences, and natural sciences for students who are enrolled for professional programs in other undergraduate colleges on the campus and for those students who may plan to enter postgraduate professional programs in other colleges.

In some instances it may be possible for a student to plan the use of undergraduate courses so that the time required for completion of a postgraduate professional program may be shortened by as much as one full year. Currently, this may be done for the Master of Social Work program. For information and advice concerning this program, see the Director of the School of Social Work.

In other pre-professional programs, the distribution of credits applied toward a degree in Fulbright College may require the consignment of a considerable portion of the available electives to prerequisite courses and to courses that are in direct support of the undergraduate major area.

Interested students should contact the appropriate advisers early in the planning of such programs.

General: Each of the above areas involves the completion of a minimum number of semester hours and certain required courses. Many of the specific course requirements are common to all programs, and it is in the student’s best interest to complete these requirements as early as possible. Careful scheduling is essential to ensure that courses are taken in proper sequence.

Pre-Chiropractic Program: Students entering this program should determine the specific admission requirements from the school(s) of their choice at an early date. Most chiropractic colleges require a minimum of 90 hours of college credit to include the following: 6 hours of English, 12 hours chemistry (with a minimum of 3 hours inorganic chemistry and at least 6 hours organic chemistry and/or biochemistry), 8 hours of biology, 3 hours of psychology, 15 hours of social science or humanities, and 8 hours of physics. All students planning careers in chiropractic should contact the Fulbright College Advising Center, 518 Old Main, 479-575-3307.

Pre-Dental Program: All dental schools require a minimum of three years of college work, and most schools give preference to applicants who have completed a baccalaureate degree. The minimum requirements for admission to most dental schools can be met at the University of Arkansas by completing the following courses:

• ENGL 1013, ENGL 1023 or equivalent composition course.
• BIOL 1543/1541L and at least 8 additional hours of biology (BIOL 1603/1601L is recommended)

Additional courses are recommended. Special opportunities and experiences are available to pre-medical students through the Liebolt Endowment.

Pre-medical students are encouraged to complete the requirements for the B.A. or B.S. degree. As part of these requirements the student must choose a major, but the choice of a major has no direct bearing upon admission to medical school and should reflect the particular interests of the student. If a student is admitted to a medical school prior to completion of the baccalaureate degree requirements, he/she may wish to take advantage of the combined degree program in medical science. If that program is elected, the student should complete all of the basic University and college requirements for graduation during residence on the UA campus.

Most medical schools require the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT), which is administered at several testing sites in Arkansas on specific dates from January to September each year. The MCAT normally should be taken in the spring preceding application to medical school. Admission to medical school is highly competitive, and a good grade-point average is demanded. A grade-point average of 3.30 is the minimum likely to receive favorable consideration. A grade of “D” in any course required by the medical school is not considered satisfactory. Advising is available through Dr. Neil Allison, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, 479-575-5179, and Dr. Jeanne McLachlin, Department of Biological Sciences, 479-575-5348. Dr. Allison serves as chair of the University of Arkansas Pre-medical Advisory Committee. For information, visit the University of Arkansas pre-medical Web site at premed.uark.edu.

Pre-Optometry Program: Admission requirements to schools and colleges of optometry are not uniform. Typically they include courses in English, mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology. Some colleges and schools have specific requirements in psychology, social sciences, literature, philosophy, and foreign languages. Students in this program should determine the specific requirements from the college(s) they wish to attend at an early date and plan their program of study accordingly. Details concerning the program are available from the Fulbright College Advising Center, 479-575-3307, 518 Old Main.

Pre-Pharmacy Program: Entrance requirements for pharmacy schools vary; therefore, students should research the schools of their choice to determine specific prerequisite course work. The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences College of Pharmacy requires 69 hours of pre-professional courses to include: 4 hours of calculus, 9 hours of English/Communication, 16 hours of chemistry, 12 hours of biology, 4 hours of physics, 3 hours of economics, 6 hours of critical thinking/problem solving, and 15 hours of humanities.

Students are advised to begin taking humanities electives during the second semester of their freshman year. Since pharmacy schools have many more applicants than they can accept, the student is urged to earn a gradepoint average much higher than the minimum of 2.00.

Grades are a major consideration when admission committees evaluate a student’s qualifications for acceptance. The University of Arkansas College of Pharmacy and other pharmacy schools also require applicants to take the Pharmacy College Admission Test (PCAT). This may be taken in November or February. The pre-pharmacy adviser for the University of Arkansas is Lorraine Brewer, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, 479-575-3103.

Pre-Podiatry Program: To meet entrance requirements for colleges of podiatry, an applicant must have completed a minimum of three years at an accredited undergraduate institution; however, most entering students have completed a baccalaureate degree.

Cooperative Education

The Cooperative Education program is designed to offer students an opportunity to participate in a work experience directly related to their academic major. The program also insists that at least minimal academic credit be awarded, thus ensuring that the work experience will be directly related to the student’s academic program. Cooperative Education offers advantages to students needing assistance in financing their education, and it offers the college a tangible way to demonstrate our conviction that although we do not stress vocational or professional training per se, there is nothing inimical between a liberal arts education and the world of work. Prerequisites include 45 credit hours, a cumulative GPA of 2.50, and consent of the academic coordinator. A maximum of 4 credit hours of ARSC 310V (Cooperative Education) may be applied toward the student’s degree.

Detailed information about Cooperative Education may be obtained from the Fulbright College Career Counselor, 518 Old Main, 479-575-3307, or from the Office of the Dean, Fulbright College, 525 Old Main.

Students seeking admission to the J. William Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences must meet the general requirements for admission to the University. In addition, students are expected to present two units (years) of a single modern foreign or classical language. Those unable to meet this standard will be expected to begin their collegiate foreign language study as soon as possible after matriculation. For these students, the first semester of language study will be considered to satisfy the admission deficiency and will not count toward the 124 hours required for graduation (although the course will appear as University credit, and the grade received will be computed in the grade-point average). For the students who meet the Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences admission requirements and continue with the same foreign language taken in high school, the first semester of language study will be considered remedial and will not count toward the 124 hours required for graduation (although the course will appear as University credit and the grade received will be computed in the grade-point average). Students transferring from other colleges at the University of Arkansas or from other institutions are expected to meet the same entrance standard.

Foremost among scholarships available in the J. William Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences is the Sturgis Fellowship. This scholarship enables Fulbright College to offer outstanding graduates of secondary and preparatory schools undergraduate fellowships valued at $50,000 for four collegiate years.

Students studying in the humanities or classics may qualify for the J. William and Elizabeth W. Fulbright Scholarship for study abroad. This award is for students who are at least juniors and is intended to support a year of study abroad.

The King Fahd Center for Middle East and Islamic Studies offers four-year and two-year undergraduate scholarships for superior students interested in pursuing the study of the Middle East or Islam.

In addition, students may compete for a number of privately endowed scholarships which are awarded on a competitive basis to those who qualify.  Application for these general Fulbright College scholarships and awards is made through the Office of the Dean, 525 Old Main. Students may obtain more detailed information about the above named scholarships and other Fulbright College scholarships at www.uark.edu/~arsc/students/scholarships.html.

Other scholarships are available from the departments of Fulbright College. Information may be sought from the departmental chairperson of the student’s major.

There are many general-interest societies and organizations to which students may belong, and nearly every department of the University maintains an honor society through which high scholarship is rewarded. Students in Fulbright College may aspire to membership in the following organizations:

Alpha Chi Sigma (chemistry)
Alpha Epsilon Delta (pre-medical, medical technology, pre-dental)
Alpha Kappa Delta (sociology)
Alpha Psi Omega (drama)

Courses of study in the Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences are designed to give students the comprehensive view of society that the modern world requires. Students who enroll in Fulbright College, or who elect some of its courses, have an opportunity to gain a broad cultural education, which is a part of intelligent living and, at the same time, to prepare for professions or to acquire technical training in the sciences. The college has two major teaching functions: to provide basic general education in the arts and sciences necessary to all persons for effective participation in the complex world in which we live; and, second, to furnish the student an opportunity to specialize in the field of the student’s choice.

To implement the first of these aims and to furnish a broad base for the accomplishment of the second, the faculty of Fulbright College has adopted the requirements listed below for each degree.

Specific course requirements may be fulfilled in one of four ways:

1. Establishing credit in approved courses:
   1. by enrolling in and completing the required work in the course,
   2. by examination (credit will be entered as CR on a student’s record as explained in Advanced-Standing Programs),
   3. by advanced achievement, i.e., by satisfactory completion of a more advanced course of a sequence. For example, students who earn a grade of “C” or better in a third-semester foreign language course may be granted credit for the second semester course upon recommendation of the Foreign Language Department and approval by the Dean of the college. (This does not apply to work taken by correspondence or in transfer.)
2. Gaining exemption by examination. Announced exemption examinations are routinely offered in several courses. Students may consult any department or the dean’s office concerning exemption examinations.
3. Advanced placement by examination. A student who is granted advanced placement may elect to substitute a more advanced course for the listed required course.
4. Transfer credit. Students presenting transfer credit in lieu of stated requirements may be asked to present official course descriptions, etc. Transfer work with grades of “D” or “F” will not be accepted.

Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences Graduation Requirements

In addition to the specific course requirements for the degree plan and major, be aware that there are general graduation requirements that every student in Fulbright College must complete.

1. Minimum Total Semester Hour Requirement
   B.A., B.M., B.S. and B.S.W. Degrees: 124 hours
   B.F.A.: 128 hours
2. Residency Requirement
   
   1. 30 Hour Rule (University Requirement)
      The full senior year must be completed in residence except that a senior who has already met the minimum residency requirement will be permitted to earn not more than 12 of the last 30 hours in extension or correspondence courses or in residence at another accredited institution granting the baccalaureate degree. No more than six of these 12 hours may be correspondence courses. The minimum residence requirement is 36 weeks and 30 semester hours. Residency for the senior year is defined as a period during which the student must be enrolled in courses offered on the campus in Fayetteville. This is intended to provide adequate contact with the University and its faculty for each student who is awarded a degree. Colleges and departments have the authority to prescribe residence requirements that exceed those described here. Fulbright College requires that no fewer than 30 hours of credit must be in courses offered by the college.
   2. 24 Hour Rule (College Requirement)
   A student graduating from Fulbright College must have completed at least 24 hours of 3000 and 4000 level courses from departments in Fulbright College.
3. 40-Hour Rule
   Students must present for degree credit at least 40 hours of work in courses numbered 3000 and above. Included in these 40 hours can be courses numbered 2000 if each has a specific course designated as a prerequisite. (The following courses are excluded: MILS 2001 and 2011, AERO 2001 and 2011, and foreign language courses numbered 2003 and 2013.) These courses may be taken from other colleges or universities. However, do not forget the college residency requirement, specifically the 24 hour rule.
4. Grade-Point Average
   Students graduating from Fulbright College must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.00.
5. “D”- Rule
   If a student has grades of “D” in more than 25 percent of the hours presented for graduation credit, she/he will not be allowed to graduate.
6. Eight Hour Rule
   Students may submit no more than eight semester credit hours from the following list of course alpha codes. These may be used for degree credit only with the specific recommendation of the adviser.
   AERO Aerospace Studies*
   AGED Agricultural and Extension Education

7. 68-Hour Rule
   Students who transfer into the University may present for degree credit no more than 68 hours of lower division course work (1000 and 2000 level).
8. Writing Requirement
   Students graduating from Fulbright College must write a research/analytical paper for at least one upper-division course in his or her major. Each department has determined its own procedures for certifying completion of this requirement. Questions should be referred to the departmental chairperson. A student may choose to write a senior thesis in a major area of study. The thesis may be accorded up to six hours of credit. Defense of the thesis before a committee is required. Satisfactory completion of an honors project or a senior thesis may be submitted to meet the college writing requirement.
   Questions concerning fulfilling the requirements should be referred to the student’s adviser or to the dean’s office, which will maintain current lists of approved courses, experimental offerings approved to fulfill requirements for a specified period of time, examination schedules, and other options available to the student.

Fulbright College Senior Scholar: A student who has earned at least 50 percent of his or her college credits at the University of Arkansas and has maintained a grade-point average of at least 3.80 through the semester preceding graduation shall earn the distinction of “Fulbright College Senior Scholar.” In addition to completing one of the sets of degree requirements listed below, a student must also complete the University Requirements for Graduation, including the University Core requirements.

Combined Academic and Medical or Dental Degree

Fulbright College offers both the Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees in medical science or medical science (dentistry). A student may substitute the first year of regular medical or dental work taken in any standard, approved medical or dental school for 30 hours of the total required for the Bachelor of Arts degree or for 33 hours of the total required for the Bachelor of Science degree provided that the following requirements are met:

1. Completion of all core requirements for a B.A. or B.S. degree, as appropriate, prior to student’s entrance in medical or dental school.
2. Completion of a minimum of 12 hours of courses numbered above 3000 taken in Fulbright College.
3. Completion of at least 30 hours immediately prior to student’s entrance in medical or dental school in residence in Fulbright College.

Students interested in this degree should consult with their adviser or with the Fulbright College dean’s office early in their program. Formal application for the degree should be made to the Registrar.

This program is for highly qualified students with outstanding academic records who may be eligible for early admission to medical school or dental school programs. The year of a medical or dental study  substitutes for the major in the B.A. or the B.S. degree program.

Additional Majors

Students fulfilling all requirements for the B.S., B.S.W., B.F.A. and B.M. degrees, including all core requirements and at least one major in these degree programs, may also claim an additional major in a humanistic discipline, social science, or interdisciplinary program associated with a BA degree. Upon completing all major requirements for that discipline, students wishing to have an additional major will not also receive a BA degree, but the additional major will be made part of their transcript. Students interested in this option should consult regularly with an academic adviser in the additional major and must notify the Fulbright College dean’s office (MAIN 525) when degree application is made.

Honors Program

To create an intellectual environment that challenges the best of students, the J. William Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences provides a comprehensive program of Honors Studies. This includes the Fulbright College Scholars Program, a four-year interdisciplinary honors program for students of superior academic ability or artistic talent, and the Departmental Honors Program, an honors program  emphasizing directed independent study within a department or discipline of the college.

For admission into the Fulbright Honors Program, an incoming student must have at least a 3.5 high school grade point average and a minimum ACT composite score of 28 or 1240 SAT. A current Fulbright College student must have a University of Arkansas grade point average of 3.5 or above and a faculty recommendation from the department of study.

A student who successfully completes a program of Honors Studies within Fulbright College is eligible to receive a baccalaureate degree with the distinction Fulbright College Scholar Cum Laude, or Departmental Scholar Cum Laude in the major field of study. Higher distinctions of Magna Cum Laude or Summa Cum Laude may be awarded to outstanding honors students by recommendation of the Fulbright College Honors Council.

To earn the distinction Fulbright College Scholar Cum Laude at graduation, a student must successfully complete the honors core curriculum, maintain a minimum grade-point average of 3.5, and satisfy requirements for departmental honors in the major field of study, including preparation and oral defense of an honors thesis. The Honors Council may award the higher distinctions of Magna Cum Laude or Summa Cum Laude based upon a student’s total academic performance, including the academic transcript, the quality of the scholarly activity pursued within the major field of study, and the breadth of college study as a whole.

To earn the distinction of Departmental Scholar Cum Laude at graduation, a student must successfully complete requirements prescribed by the major department, including an honors thesis and oral examination, maintain a minimum grade-point average of 3.5, and take 12 hours (which may include six hours of thesis) in Honors Studies. If a student demonstrates superior academic performance or an exceptionally high level of scholarly activity, the Honors Council may award the distinction of Magna Cum Laude. In exceptional instances where truly outstanding work within the major field is coupled with the superior understanding of its relationship to the college work as a whole, the distinction Summa Cum Laude may be awarded.

Degrees with Honors

The J. William Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences is dedicated to providing students a liberal education in the arts, humanities, and sciences. Such an education should be soundly based, innovative, and enriched by a creative faculty. This is especially true for students with superior academic ability or artistic talent. To achieve these aims, the college faculty has developed and participates in the Fulbright College Scholars Program and the Departmental Honors Program.

Requirements for the Fulbright College Scholars Program: Credit or exemption for University Core in English composition, including ENGL 1013, ENGL 1023, and ENGL 2003, and in American history or American government, completion of the requirements for departmental honors in a department or study area of the college, including preparation and oral defense of an honors thesis, a cumulative grade-point average of 3.5 or above, and completion of the honors core curriculum. Students who do not have at least a 3.5 GPA will not be allowed to graduate with honors.

Requirements for Departmental Honors: Specific academic requirements including course work, participation in departmental honors colloquia or seminars, and independent study projects are established by the faculty of the individual departments or study areas and are approved by the Honors Council. However, all departmental honors students must have a 3.5 cumulative grade-point average, complete and defend an honors thesis, and take 12 hours (which may include six hours of thesis) in Honors Studies. Information concerning these requirements is given within each department’s catalog listings.

The minimum academic requirements of the honors core curriculum for the B.A./B.SW., B.S., B.M., and B.F.A. degree programs can be found in the degree requirements for each program listed below.
