The Business Honors Program is designed to develop all the skills and attributes needed to excel in today's global business environment. To achieve this mission, the Business Honors curriculum highlights core business courses which must be completed in a structured sequence each semester within a cohort system. Business Honors students further broaden their college experience by participating in leadership development and academic enrichment opportunities through Business Honors’ project teams.
