Departmental Honors in Business

Graduation with Departmental Business Honors requires:

•  A minimum 3.9 GPA in Business School courses at the end of th junior year

• Completion of a 3-credit research project during the entire senior year on a topic that is of interest to both the faculty member supervising the research and the student responsible for completing it. The depth of the project must be consistent with the requirements of a 3-credit upper-level class in the supervising department.

•  A minimum 3.9 GPA in all Business School courses at graduation

Students who double major can complete their research project in either major department. Students in combined majors (ENT, HSMP, IFM, REA) can complete their research project in any department within the major. Students who have a minor can complete their research project in either their major or minor departments. The 3-credit research project class is taken for credit only and will not count towards the 120 hours required for graduation.

Students who begin a research project but do not complete it will be retroactively withdrawn from the research course. Students receive credit for the project only if the work is deemed to be of exceptional quality, consistent with the workload of a 3-credit upper-level independent study course, and worthy of a designation that is only open to the top 1% of Business School undergraduates.

Deadlines and procedures for the projects are available in the Office of Undergraduate Programs and in department offices.
