Hickingbotham School of Business
Inspired by the innovative entrepreneurial spirit of Frank D. Hickingbotham, founder of TCBY and member of the Arkansas Business Hall of Fame, Ouachita’s Hickingbotham School of Business approaches business education differently. Mr. Hickingbotham and other business leaders mentor students and provide direct access to their professional networks. Our unique Four-Year Experience program gives students firsthand access to business leaders and corporations throughout their time at Ouachita. Expert faculty invest individually in students in the classroom, as professional mentors and as access points to jobs and internships. They teach students not only to do well but also to do good.
"In the Hickingbotham School of Business, we strive to do one thing exceedingly well – we seek to prepare undergraduate business students for life. And based on the performance of our graduates, we see no good reason to change our focus! Our students are more than just a number. They are our priority."
– Bryan McKinney, Dean of the Hickingbotham School of Business
