About Walker College of Business Honors
Qualified business students can choose to participate in the university honors program, the business honors program, or both. The business honors program is a selective program for students maintaining a minimum of a 3.4 GPA. It offers special recognition at graduation and on the transcript, and it provides access to smaller Walker College classes. Like the university honors program, the business honors program offers extra opportunities to develop mentoring relationships with instructors and fellow students.
