Yes. We encourage all students who have been selected for the Business Honors Program to also enroll with the Honors College. Students will benefit from both programs.

Students are eligible to apply once they have been admitted into the Bulls Business Community. The application for the honors program is available online. Prospective BHP transfer students refer to the student handbook.

We strongly recommend students submit the application and the accompanying documents early. This is a highly competitive program and just twenty students are admitted into the program each year. The earlier the application and supporting documents arrive, the sooner an interview can be scheduled.

Applications must be received prior to BHP interviews, which are usually scheduled during the Bulls Business Community Open House. However, the sooner the application and accompanying documents are received, the better.

We notify applicants of receipt via email.

Initial admission decisions are made in April. This is a tentative schedule as an admission decision is based on completing all interviews for both national and international applicants.

High school teachers, mentors, or academic advisors from high school can write a letter of recommendation. References should know the applicant well and, of course, be willing to write the letter and submit it on the student's behalf.

You do not need to send any test scores or transcripts with your application.

Interviews are usually scheduled to take place during the Bulls Business Community Open House.

We recommend business casual attire.

Along with your application, two letters of recommendation, an academic/professional resume, and a photograph are required for submission.

No. You can be considered for admission to the Business Honors Program but must subsequently apply and be accepted into the BBC / ZAP. If selected into the BHP, the student must commit to live in the BBC / ZAP for their first two years at USF.

It is a brief interview with the director of the BHP, who wants to learn more about the applicant's academic and professional background as well as assess the student's commitment to – and likely "fit" with the program. The Business Honors Program requirements and expectations are explained in detail at the interview.
