HONORS REQUIREMENTS:
KOGOD SCHOOL OF BUSINESS

 
 

The University Honors Program encourages all students who are planning a Capstone project to submit their Capstone form, proposal and work plan well in advance of the deadline to allow the Capstone Advisor(s) and Honors Department Coordinators sufficient time to review the proposals. Students should contact their individual Honors Department Coordinator to confirm how much lead time he/she requires to review a Capstone proposal and about any preference for submitting a proposal electronically.

University Honors in Business Administration:

I. Level I Options (100-200-level Honors classes): no minimum

II. Level II Options (300- or above level Honors classes in Business): 9 credits

          Follow the 2-Year Kogod Cycle to complete your upper-level Kogod and upper-level Honors           requirements.

III. Level III Options: Honors Senior Capstone: 3 credits:

  • Option A: The Student registers for the Honors section of MGMT-458 Business, Policy and Strategy (3 credits - spring semester). This fulfills the Capstone requirement.
  • Option B: The student registers for a non-Honors section of MGMT-458 Business, Policy and Strategy (3 credits) and completes the course with a Capstone Supplement. This option is recommended only when the Honors section of MGMT-458 is not available.
  • Option C: The student registers for ACCT/FIN/IBUS/MGMT/MKTG/ITEC-490 Independent Study Project (3 credits); "Honors Capstone" should appear in the project title line on the course registration form, and the Capstone should be supervised by a faculty member in Kogod.
  • Option D: The student registers for an Advanced Kogod course (3 credits) and completes the course with a Capstone Supplement that links a major paper or project to the course material.
