This honors program offers a dynamic and flexible pathway into business honors, integrating real-world industry experiences to cultivate responsible global leaders.
It will enhance students’ employability through robust co-curricular engagement, as research shows that highly involved students are significantly more sought after by employers.
Unlike traditional honors programs bound by a restrictive December 1 deadline for first-time college freshmen, this program provides an alternative route, creating opportunities for high-achieving transfer students and those pursuing an accelerated two- or three-year undergraduate path with a broader focus than our current Honors pathways in international business or engineering.
