Business Honors seeks students whose academic excellence is matched by strong character, leadership skills and teamwork. The application review process uses academic measures only as a threshold. No combination of test scores, grades, and class rank will guarantee acceptance into the program.  Extracurricular involvement is highly regarded in the application review process.

Incoming Freshmen

To apply to Business Honors, you must complete the ApplyTexas application and select business (BUAD or BUAG) as your first choice of major.  There is a separate portion of the application where you will indicate your interest in being considered for Business Honors.

The selection process for Business Honors is separate from the admission process for Texas A&M, and being admitted to Texas A&M as a business major does not guarantee selection to Business Honors.  Notification of selection to Business Honors is mailed separately from the A&M admission decision.  Additionally, prospective students should be aware that Business Honors is separate from the University Honors Program.  University Honors has no formal application process; if you meet the established requirements, you may participate.  Business Honors does have an application process and selection for Business Honors is only available to students who indicate that they do want to be considered for the program.
