Business Honors Program

The School of Business offers the 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 special visits with New York City and Long Island companies. A global experience will be encouraged, and Business Honors students will be given priority for participation in these opportunities.

The Business Honors Program offers the flexibility of 13 business honors classes to choose from. 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 may be 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.

  • Students entering the Business Honors Program as freshmen prior to 2022 must complete or audit 10 out of the 13 courses in order to have the "Business Honors Program" noted on their final transcript.
  • Students entering the Business Honors Program as freshmen in 2022 and thereafter must complete or audit 9 out of the 13 courses in order to have the "Business Honors Program" noted on their final transcript.
  • Students entering the Business Honors Program as sophomores in 2022 and thereafter must complete or audit 5 of the 13courses in order to have the "Business Honors Program" noted on their final transcript.

This program is independent of the Molloy University Honors Program. Student participating in the Business Honors Program are encouraged to participate, if invited, in the Molloy University Honors Program. Only Business Honors students who are also participants in the Molloy Honors Program are permitted to take up to 18 credits per semester without being assessed an additional tuition charge.

Business Honors students are expected to be leaders and role models for other students. As such, students in this program must participate in at least two events per semester. These events may include alumni and career panels, company visits, executive speaker series, and social events hosted by the School of Business. A schedule of these events will be sent to students throughout the semester.
