The Business Honors program at Mays Business School is designed for high-achieving students who aim for academic excellence and leadership development. This program allows students to pursue a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) degree with a focus on Business Honors, and also offers the flexibility to double major in various business fields such as Accounting, Finance, Management, Marketing, and Supply Chain Management. The curriculum is structured to enable completion of both majors within a standard four-year timeframe. The program emphasizes personalized support, professional development through numerous events, and fosters a strong network among its students.
Graduates of the Business Honors program are highly sought after by leading companies across various sectors, including professional services, consulting, banking, energy, retail, non-profit, and government agencies. The program's strong emphasis on development and networking prepares students for successful careers.
Selection for Business Honors is highly competitive and separate from university admission. While SAT/ACT scores are encouraged and priority review is given to applicants with scores on file, they are not required for consideration. Co-curricular involvement, leadership skills, teamwork, and demonstrated success in high school are heavily weighted. Letters of recommendation from academic sources are highly recommended and must be submitted through the Office of Admissions. All application materials, including extracurricular activities, should be submitted through the Apply Texas or Common Application.
