The HTC program in business offers exceptional students the opportunity to study aspects of business in one-on-one relationships with business faculty members. Maximum opportunities will be afforded for the student to progress well beyond the material found in conventional courses. Recent topics that students have investigated include sustainable business practices, socially responsible investing, the slow food movement, budgeting in varsity athletics, and female entrepreneurs. Students will receive a degree of Bachelor of Business Administration from the Honors Tutorial College. Students are required to complete eight tutorials within The College of Business, including two devoted to the thesis. The first several tutorials are organized as small seminars. This develops a strong team dynamic among the students. The first seminar introduces students to a variety of important business concepts and functions. The next seminar teaches students about entrepreneurship and developing new business ideas. A student will normally select other tutorials from his or her major area of interest. In addition to the tutorials, the student must complete courses in freshman composition, math, core business courses not covered by tutorials, and an appropriate number of approved electives. Internships and/or study abroad may be included within the program with special permission from the Director of Studies (credit will be given only once). Honors Tutorial students take a minimum of 15 hours per semester.
