\nArkansas Tech University began in 1909, first offering classes that would help students obtain a high school degree. In 1919, when a freshman named John Tucker scored all 14 points in a 14-0 football game, the male athletes were nicknamed the \u2018Wonder Boys.\u2019 In 1975, the female athletes voted to change their nickname to \u2018Golden Suns,\u2019 as they were not pleased with being called the \u2018Wonder Girls.\u2019 The University is set amongst the Great Outdoors, surrounded by trees, state parks, and trails in Russellville, Arkansas. It has become the third-largest university in the state serving over 12,000 students who are pursuing associates to graduate-level degrees. It has held a regional accreditation from the Higher Learning Commission since 1930. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professors can be unique in the way they teach. The business building can be unique in the resources it provides. The campus can be unique in where it is located. Programs can be unique in the degrees they offer, which is one of the unique points of the College of Business at Arkansas Tech. It has created a Bachelor\u2019s in Business Data Analytics. This degree combines technology and math concepts with the fundamentals and strategies of business to analyze and find solutions to the biggest economic and business issues of today. Graduates of this unique degree will acquire highly valued and in-demand skills that are desired by all types of organizations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Foundation:<\/strong> For a building to stand strong and not waver, it must be built on a secure foundation. It is the same for students pursuing an education that will help them reach their career goals and aspirations. Through excellent degrees, co-curricular programs, and supportive faculty and staff, the CoB establishes a firm foundation full of business knowledge, theory, fundamentals, and principles that will give students the freedom to learn and grow and build upon that foundation to reach the highest levels of success. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Impact:<\/strong> There are several ways for business students to utilize their acquired knowledge to impact their peers, professors, staff, and even the community. One of the big ways is through participation in research and projects at the Small Business & Technology Development Center. The Center supports start-ups, entrepreneurs, and small businesses in the region by offering training, consulting, and guidance in helping them grow and develop. Students can get their hands on real-world business issues and work with real clients and directly apply what they have learned and are learning in class. In turn, students not only positively impact the regional community, but the entire economy of Arkansas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It can be incredibly overwhelming to begin the search for just the right business school.
