Honors Program

The Cal State Fullerton Business Honors Program provides high-potential students with special opportunities for academic challenge, unique in-class and out-of-classroom learning opportunities, mentoring and career development.

Being a Business Honors student is not only a challenge and a privilege; it can also be fun and will give you an advantage in finding an exciting career in today's complex and ever-evolving workplace.

"Enrolling in the CBE honors program gave me opportunities usually only available to an MBA student. I was part of an honors program consulting project in a real-world small business workplace. At the conclusion of the project, my honors team complied a final report of the findings, analyses and recommendations that we presented orally to the company's CEO who then incorporated some of the recommendations into his company's ongoing program of operational improvements. This small business consulting project gave me a chance to enhance my leadership, communications, analytical and team building skills. I believe that as the honors program continues to grow, its future graduates will reap even greater benefits."
