Business Honors Program
The School of Business offers the oldest and most established Business Honors Program in the Long Island area for undergraduate business students. Participation in the Business Honors Program offers qualified students an opportunity to learn from the most accomplished professors alongside the best and the brightest students in the program. Honors classes are structured in cohorts, which form a tight-knit, cooperative learning community. These courses are enhanced to challenge honors students and differ from the non-honors business courses in the depth and breadth of subject matter. Honors students are held to a higher standard of academic rigor and ultimately, academic achievement overall. In addition, the School of Business will arrange elite guest speakers and provide ample opportunity for international travel, in which Business Honors students will be given first priority for participation in business international travel.
The goal of the Business Honors Program is to challenge the high aptitude student to achieve his or her maximum potential. The Business Honors Program consists of 12 business classes taken over four years. If, prior to entering the Program, a Molloy student has received college credit for a course that is included in the Business Honors curriculum, the student is required to "audit" the course as part of the Program. In this capacity, the student will attend all classes and complete all assignments but will receive an "audit" designation on the transcripts and will not be charged tuition for the course.

Only Business Honors students who are also participants in the Molloy Honors Program are permitted to take more than 16 credits in a semester without being assessed an additional tuition charge.
