Jack Dicus Business Honors Program
Benefits
Honors courses
The most conspicuous benefit will be the opportunity to enroll in business honors courses, taught by some of the most gifted faculty in the school.
Courses are smaller than the non-honors offering, which allows for significant interaction with the honors faculty.
