Bessie B. Moore Center For Economic Education


The center was established with a grant from Phillips Petroleum Company in August 1978 and dedicated in May 1979. The center was named for Economics Arkansas' first executive director, Dr. Bessie B. Moore. Bessie shared these remarks during the dedication of the Moore Center: “University centers on economic education have an important place in the scheme of things to come and this particular center can be a force in our goal of eliminating economic illiteracy.”

The Bessie B. Moore Center is currently administered by the College of Education and Health Professions and serves 16 counties in Northwest Arkansas.
