The School of Business Honors Program provides a challenging opportunity for exceptional business majors. The initial focus of this offering promotes a predisposition toward the exploration of contemporary business issues that can reshape the business world. More specifically, its focus will enhance the student’s self-awareness of one’s potential and the development of professional research, writing and presentation skills. Sophomore and junior students are invited to apply for admission to the School of Business Honors Program during the fall and spring semesters of each academic school year.
