Business majors with a GPA of at least 3.5 in the major are eligible to apply to the Business honors program, which involves research and writing under the supervision of a member of the Business faculty. Candidates for honors must maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 3.5 in their BUS courses (excluding BUS 89a and BUS 98a) and be on track to complete at least 20 credits of BUS courses (excluding BUS 89a and BUS 98a) by the end of the first semester of their senior year.
