Interested in exclusive classroom, community, and networking opportunities?

Kogod Honors is designed for students who want more from their business education. Honors courses give students the chance to work closely with other high-performing peers, engage more deeply with course material, and strengthen the professional habits that matter in internships, leadership roles, and post-graduation opportunities.

In honors courses, you’ll:

• Work with fellow honors students so you can dive deeper into topics.
• Develop real business solutions for a real client during your senior capstone project.

Outside the classroom, you’ll:

• Compete in case study competitions.
• Network with industry leaders.
• Hear from distinguished faculty and alumni.
• Mentor incoming honors students.
