The Business Honors Program gives students an advanced education on methods and theory, but it also gives students a landscape view of the larger business environment, allowing them to make contextualized leadership decisions. The broad and flexible curriculum is designed for leaders in all business fields.
One of the two required introductory courses, Honors Why Business, takes students on a journey through market economies as seen by its greatest champions and fiercest opponents. The course delves into the foundation of why we practice business and the role of business in a just and humane society. Students emerge from Why Business with a renewed understanding of their honorable calling.

Our course offerings draw on years of business practice and the academic expertise of our talented group of faculty. Courses are meant to add an additional layer of understanding to an already rigorous business education. Many courses are dedicated to applied business work, while others take a system-level or a normative view of the business environment.
The Honors Colloquium is a hallmark of the Honors experience. On Fridays, speakers from a variety of business backgrounds come to speak to Honors students. Colloquium speakers are selected based on their outstanding success in integrating business, faith, and family. Following their presentations, students and speakers gather for a meal. This gives students the opportunity to candidly meet the speakers.
Part of our call to lead is our call to lead within the Mendoza College of Business. Honors students are available to all Mendoza students for help in many Mendoza undergraduate courses.
