Welcome to the
Business Leadership Honors Program
Business Leadership Honors Classes 2009-2010
The key courses are taught with a special emphasis on business leadership by faculty chosen for their exceptional teaching and their interest in the leadership concept. The leadership seminars will help the students assess and perfect their talents for leadership and will put them into contact with many business leaders. Noteworthy among the opportunities are the internships (where the students are placed with business leaders who serve as mentors) and the projects developed and executed by the students to demonstrate their leadership skills. The program will culminate in the students preparing portfolios on the essence of leadership, as derived from participation in the program, and defending their concepts of leadership before a faculty board.
This highly selective program accepts 15 sophomores each spring to begin the two-year curriculum the following fall. Applicants are selected on the basis of the following criteria:
* Leadership experience and/or potential; drawing from the student's record in high school, college, work history, clubs and activities.
* Student's self-assessment and motivation in applying-how and why this program relates to the student's long-term goals.
* Interests and hobbies.
* Recommendations of teachers, others.
* 3.0 grade-point average (ordinarily); a minimum of a 3.5 grade-point average will be needed for graduation with honors in the program
