Clinton School student Kellen Utecht (’13), who is completing the concurrent MPS/MBA program with the University of Arkansas Walton College of Business, has been profiled in the “spotlight” section on the Walton College Web site.
A native of Underwood, N.D., Utecht is a former Peace Corps volunteer who found the concurrent program a perfect fit for his interests in business and public service. He is currently spending part of his week in Fayetteville and part in Little Rock while taking courses in both schools. Here’s an excerpt from the Walton College piece.

He lives in Fayetteville. He also lives in Little Rock. To further complicate things, his fianceé lives in Turkey. As in the country Turkey.
Welcome to Kellen Utecht’s world.
For three or so days a week, Kellen is in Fayetteville, pursuing a master’s degree in business administration at the Sam M. Walton College of Business. Then, it’s off to Little Rock, where he is also a student at the University of Arkansas Clinton School of Public Service, working toward a master’s degree in – you guessed it – public service.
Kellen says he learned about the combined master’s program by “Googling” the words “MBA” and “public service.” On the second page of the results, he found a link to an article about Sarah Clark, the first student to complete concurrent master’s degrees in business administration and public service through a partnership between the Clinton School and the Walton College.
